The Worshipful Company of Woodturners

One of the oldest Livery Companies in the City of London, the Turners’ Company was already a guild in the 12th Century. Some 200 years later, Edward III decreed that ‘wooden measures, as well for wine as for ale’ should be made only by ‘turnours’ – and the medieval turners established the English ‘pint’ as an official measure.
