         The p r i n c i p a l minute books of the Drapers' Company 
are those of i t s 
                   governing body, whose members were f i r s t 
c a l l e d A s s i s t a n t s i n 1521, 
                               and those of i t s c h i e f o f f i c e r s 
the Wardens. 
                The Court of A s s i s t a n t s has c o n t r o l l e d admin­
i s t r a t i o n of the Company since the e a r l y sixteenth century 
and i t was a requirement of the charter of 1606 which r e i n ­
corporated the Company that there be at l e a s t twelve such 
governors. 
              The A s s i s t a n t s were co-opted mainly from the 
L i v e r y and Wardens were Court members ex o f f i c i o . 
                                                           Numbers 
of membership have fluctuated over the centuries, varying 
from 26 to 53 i n the eighteenth century f o r example. 
                                                               The 
Court or Council of A s s i s t a n t s was o r i g i n a l l y held on Quarter 
Days and whenever necessary but by successive resolutions 
the gaps between meetings were narrowed to three months 
(2 August 1713), two months (19 December 1777), and f i n a l l y ­
one month (21 January 1819). 

        The minutes of the Court of A s s i s t a n t s were o r i g i n ­
a l l y recorded i n Repertories which survive from 1515. 
                                                       The 
                                                              
f i r s t volume i s numbered 
                          7 
                             and a seventeenth century book  
of extracts from the minutes begins i n 1507. 
                                              These Reper­
t o r i e s t r e a t of a l l 
                    aspects of the F e l l o w s h i p s i n t e r n a l  
government and external concerns. 
                                   They record admissions  
to Court, L i v e r y , Freedom, and apprenticeships. They con­
t a i n notices of public events, Mayoral precepts, p a r t i ­
culars of obits,chantries, c h a r i t i e s , e l e c t i o n s , disputes,  
pageants, f i n e s , punishments, and so on. 
                                          They record Court  
Ordinances and r e s o l u t i o n s , d e t a i l s of properties admini­
stered and copy Wardens' accounts. 
                                    They are fragmentary  
for the l a t e 1530s however. Such records as the minute  
books seem to have been kept i n three stages: f i r s t l y rough,  
then a f a i r working copy, and l a s t l y a record copy. 
                                                     Ex­
amples of each of these s e r i e s survive and t h i s was probably  
the p r o c e d u r e during the period covered by the Record Books  
or Records (1603-1828). 
                         Repertory 
                                    A 
                                       i s i n t e r e s t i n g i n  
that i t records many matters i n greater d e t a i l than the  
p a r a l l e l minutes. 
                   After 1711 most of the minute books have  
indexes and from 1836 the agendas of meetings were also  
kept separately.  

         The e a r l i e s t Wardens' minutes were recorded i n the  
same volume as those of the Court of A s s i s t a n t s (159^-1603)  
but from 1659 the Wardens' minutes survive as a separate  
s e r i e s . 
          At f i r s t they take the form of rough notes of Court  
and committee resolutions and steps to be taken to put them  
into e f f e c t . Memoranda of a l l 
                                   matters coming under t h e i r  
purview include signed agreements to lease property. From  
1703 however there i s a marked tendency f o r the minutes to  
become more systematic. By 1798 they are rough again and  
include d r a f t minutes of the Court of A s s i s t a n t s . 
                                                           In 1906  
a new s e r i e s of printed Court of Wardens minutes began.  

        During the nineteenth century Company a d m i n i s t r a t i o n 
                                                             
was i n c r e a s i n g l y delegated to committees which u s u a l l y corn­
p r i s e d 6 or 7 members of the Court and were elected annually.  
Committee business and Court of Wardens business was 
                                                     sub­
mitted to the f u l l Court f o r approval. 
                                        In 1841 the A s s i s t a n t s  
appointed a Finance Committee which by 1909 was known as  
the Finance and General Purposes Committee. 
                                             Both t h i s  
Committee's and the Estates and Accounts Committee minutes  
contain copies of reports, including reports on motions f o r  
grants of donation. 
                     The School Committee began l i f e i n tan­
dem with the Drapers' College Committee and became the  
Education Committee i n 1909. 
                              I t produced a sub-committee to  
administer the People's Palace (nov/ Queen Mary College) i n  
1895, whose a f f a i r s had p r e v i o u s l y 
                                   been managed by the General  

Purposes Committee. Under a Scheme of 1887 Drapers

                                                                                                                                                                              1 College  
became the home of Tottenham High School f o r G i r l s and was  
run by a separate committee. 
                                                                                                      Ad hoc committees include one  
f o r the Rebuilding of Drapers' H a l l a f t e r the F i r e of London  
and a Special Committee appointed i n 1945 to Review the  
Company's T r u s t s .

However, because o f the p r a c t i c e o f e n t e r i n g **d e b t s**  
ov/ing under r e c e i p t s and payment o f sums l e n t and repayment **o f**  
debts ov/ed under **disbursements, they are not balanced**  
accounts i n the modern **sense.**  
The important charterof 1607 ordered that **there be**  
four Wardens and a Court of A s s i s t a n t s of at l e a s t **twelve.**  
This s t i p u l a t i o n came at a time when the l a t t e r body **was**  
gaining confidence i n i t s r o l e of governing the **Company** but while the o f f i c e of Warden was becoming **i n c r e a s i n g l y**  
unpopular. 

A f t e r 1607 Wardens were elected on the f i r s t  
Monday i n August by those members **of the Court who had**  
previously been Master or Warden. 

The old Wardens **chose**  
four new Master Bachelors. 

Since the e a r l y **sixteenth**  
century i t had been common p r a c t i c e f o r one of the **Wardens**  
to serve as a Renter Warden although i t was not u n t i l **1711**  
that the Wardens
1, Renter Warden's **and Renters' accounts**  
f i n a l l y merged i n t o one main s e r i e s of Company **accounts.**  
The Renter Warden's accounts cover the years 1605 to 
1710 and are mainly rough records of money passing through t h i s o f f i c e r ' s hands. 

They are i n the nature of cash books rather than f i n a l accounts, and between 1628 and 1666 the Renter Warden kept one rough cash book and one presentable account book. Usually legacy payments as w e l l as accounts of presentments, f i n e s , freedoms, Quarterage, and orphans were recorded under separate r u b r i c s . 

Generally speaking, the Renter Warden ( l i k e the f o u r t h or junior Warden) was elected from persons who had never held the o f f i c e of Warden before. The r o l e of Renter Warden was an active and important one. 

His account books were one way i n which the Master and-the ether Wardens could supervise h i s actions and prevent abuse of t h i s key p o s i t i o n .

Admission to the Drapers

                                                                                                      1 Company was 
                                                                                                                                                         of three kinds; by 
apprenticeship, by redemption, or by patrimony. 
                                                                                                                                                                              An a l t e r n a t i v e 
means was t r a n s l a t i o n from another g i l d and t h i s became i n ­
creasingly common as the l i v e r y companies became detached from 
the trades they represented. 
                                                                                                           The f i r s t examples of admission 
by redemption, that i s entry without having served an appren­
t i c e s h i p , occur i n the 1420s. 
                                                                                                              The e a r l i e s t admission by 
patrimony, l i m i t e d to those born a f t e r t h e i r f a t h e r has been 
admitted, was that of William Haryot son of W i l l i a m Haryot the 
Mayor 1481-2. Most of those who came i n by patrimony or redemp­
t i o n paid the usual*spoon s i l v e r ' o f 3s. 
                                                                                                                                              4d. 
                                                                                                                                                                In 1504, as symptom 
of the concentration of power within the organization, the Master 
and Wardens assumed the r i g h t to admit by redemption without 
securing even the nominal approval of the Fellowship as a whole. 

r 
                       Apprenticeship was the main avenue of entry into the 
           F r a t e r n i t y . 
                                             The Wardens c o n t r o l l e d the enrolment of apprentices 
           and t h e i r graduation into the Freedom. Both the fee paid by 
          masters at every stage of t h e i r apprentices' advancement and 
           the a c t u a l numbers bound f l u c t u a t e d over the years. 
                                                                                                                                                       Masters 
          u s u a l l y apprenticed only one boy or g i r l a year and paid the 
           fee to the Wardens. 
                                                                  This f e e was made a uniform 2s. 6d. 
                                                                                                                                                                      by

                                                                                               Apprenticeship normally l a s t e d 
           seven years and entry into the Freedom required payment of the 
           'spoon s i l v e r ' by the master. 
                                                                                            A Court of Assistants'Ordinance 
           of 1505 
                                e x p l i c i t l y recognizes the r i g h t of S i s t e r s to take on 
           apprentices and f u r t h e r Ordinances i n 1547 and 1550 imposed 
           f i n e s on those masters or mistresses who 
                                                                                                                       f a i l e d to make t h e i r 
           apprentices free of the Company on completion of t h e i r term and 
           s p e c i f i e d that enrolment should take place w i t h i n s i x months of 
           binding. 
                                     Another Ordinance (1574) confined the r i g h t of enter­
           ing apprentices to those who had paid t h e i r Quarterage. 
                                                                                                                                                                  Indent­
           ures were sealed only on Court Days and from 1605 were written 
r 
           i n E n g l i s h . 
                                             Although London was exempt from the Statute of 
          Apprentices (5 E l i z . I c i v ) Company r e g u l a t i o n s tended to 
          mirror l e g i s l a t i v e precepts. 
                                                                                          By the middle of the eighteenth 
           century however, Court r e s o l u t i o n s i n d i c a t e the d e c l i n e of 
           apprenticeship. 
                                                       From 1742 many apprentices were admitted to 
           the Freedom a f t e r having only served h a l f of t h e i r term. 
                                                                                                                                                                     The 
           decline i n admissions became rapid during the next century and 
           the l a s t apprentice was bound i n 1906. 
                                                                                                                    Henceforth entrance by 
           redemption became the usual way i n . 

       The e a r l y Wardens' accounts contain r e c e i p t s of fees f o r  
apprenticeship and annual l i s t s of apprentices during the 
                                                                                    f i r s t  
h a l f of the sixteenth century. 
                                              Apprenticeship records proper  
begin i n 1603 with Books of Bindings. 
                                                        These are chronological  
a f t e r 1615 and give the background of the bound apprentice, h i s  
master's trade, residence, and the amount of fees paid. 
                                                                                   The

12d. per annum. 
                                                           In return, the Liverymen expected four dinners

                                                                                                                                                             Since 1475 
                                                                                                                                                                                                   they 
had kept apprenticeship fees to defray l i k e expenses. 
                                                                                                                                                                                               I f

                                                                                                     Unfortunately t h i s was not so and 
neither were a r r e a r s always recorded. 
                                                                                                                                       Membership for the e a r l y 
period of Company h i s t o r y can only be estimated by examining 
p a r t i c i p a t i o n i n those public or p r i v a t e f e s t i v i t i e s f o r which 
a fee was a c t u a l l y c o l l e c t e d .

Quarterage were chronic and f o r some years at t h i s time i t does 
not seem to have been paid at a l l . 
                                                                                                                             Regular Quarterage Eooks do 
not begin u n t i l 1605 and show that by the end of the century 
non-payment was usual. They record the names of freemen alpha­
b e t i c a l l y along with date and method of admission, occupation, 
 and place of residence. These names represent a l i s t of the 
whole freedom f o r the f i r s t date of each volume only. 
                                                                                                                                                                                               By the 
 eighteenth century no s p e c i f i c records were kept of freemen's 
admission or death, and they d i d not pay Quarterage unless 
they came to bind an apprentice or enter one into the Freedom. 
Comparison of names occurring i n the Bindings Books with those 
 i n the Freeman l i s t s w i l l y i e l d the p r o p o r t i o n of apprentices 
who entered the Freedom s u c c e s s f u l l y . 

      The f i r s t Freemen's Admission Books were compiled about 
1617-8 and cover 1567-1658, being arranged both c h r o n o l o g i c a l l y 
and a l p h a b e t i c a l l y . 
                         Occupations, residence, and promotion to 
the L i v e r y or Court of A s s i s t a n t s are recorded. 
                                                          For previous 
decades the names and r e l a t i v e proportions of freemen and 
Liverymen can be discovered by the study of e n t r i e s i n the 
Wardens' accounts, and there i s a l i s t of members for 1493 
                                                                      i n 
volume W.A.2. 

     The Drapers, o r i g i n a l l y a F r a t e r n i t y of equals, g r a d u a l l y  
became divided i n t o a p r i v i l e g e d L i v e r y and an a s p i r i n g Yeoman­
ry. 
     The l a t t e r , also known as the Bachelors, comprised the  
ordinary freemen of the Company. 
                                   By the 1480s t h e i r status was  
w e l l established and t h e i r own o r g a n i z a t i o n (a mimic of Company  
o f f i c e s , customs, and occasions) accepted. 
                                              They were governed  
by four Wardens or Master Bachelors e l e c t e d by the Wardens of  
the Fellowship and i n time r e c r u i t e d t h e i r own Assistants. 
                                                               In 
                                                                    
1560 t h e i r Ordinances were i n s c r i b e d i n a separate volume and  
twenty years l a t e r an exclusive Yeomanry L i v e r y had developed,  
whose p r i v i l e g e d members p a r t i c i p a t e d i n Company administration. 
                                                                    
Tensions soon arose and i n October 1657 the Yeomanry Wardens were  
abolished. 
            The records of t h i s semi-autonomous society w i t h i n  
the l a r g e r Company are l i m i t e d to accounts of the Master Bach­
e l o r s f o r 1615-1657. 
                       By an Ordinance of 1540 they had been  
made responsible f o r c o l l e c t i n g the Quarterage of the ordinary  
freemen and t h e i r accounts record t h i s . 
                                           Money was paid i n t o  
a Bachelors' Box which was submitted f o r the annual autumn  
audit to the Company Wardens who recorded the outcome i n t h e i r  
accounts. 
           Apart from Quarterage the Master 
                                               Bachelors also  
c o l l e c t e d the fees of members received into the Livery, paid  
f o r a Great Dinner, search dinners, exceptional pageants, 
                                                             and

These extraordinary expences continued 
                                                                                                                           to be recorded i n the  
account book a f t e r the a b o l i t i o n of the Master 
                                                                                                                                                   Bachelors.  

      The d i s t i n c t i o n between the common freeman and the L i v e r y ­
man became c l e a r some time i n the 1460s. 
                                                    Liverymen were selected 
by the Court of A s s i s t a n t s and membership involved a property 
q u a l i f i c a t i o n . 
                   By 1475 admission to the L i v e r y was f i x e d at 
6s. 
    8d, 
         double that f o r entry to the Freedom. Numbers admitted 
varied over the years and numerous schemes were adopted to 
regulate the proportion of freemen who went i n t o the L i v e r y . In 
1801 the L i v e r y i t s e l f was d i v i d e d into two c l a s s e s , one 
                                                                       Senior,

                                       The rough books of Free­

covering 1712-1760 i s unusual i n that i t records comments on 
the freemen, s t a t i n g whether they rose to the L i v e r y , declined 
into poverty, or died. 
                         From 1842 these records are supplemented . 
by p r i n t e d L i s t s of Freemen. 

     The Fee Books, continuous since 1740, 
                                              are accounts of money  
received from bindings, freedoms, Quarterage, and entry to the  
L i v e r y . 
         The 
              f i r s t volume includes a sewn-in sheet which de­
t a i l s Quarterage to be gathered for 1610. 
                                              These books are rough  
at f i r s t and l a t e r include fees received by Clerk, Warden,  
Beadle, Porter, etc.

The f i r s t s e r i e s comprise the declarations of newly admitted

## Renters' Accounts And Rentals

The Renters' accounts were kept separate from those  
of the Wardens and r e c o r d r e c e i p t of rents from property l e t 
 
by the Company. 

U n t i l 1481 they also r e c e i v e d f i n e s and fees  
f o r a p p r e n t i c e s h i p and entry to the Freedom. 

Disbursements 
 
comprise r e p a i r s , b u i l d i n g expences, q u i t r e n t s , allowances  
t o tenants, and o c c a s i o n a l l y o b i t s and some s a l a r i e s . 

A f t e r 
 
1494 the balance of the Renters' accounts was p a i d over to  
the Wardens at the annual a u d i t and from 1545 t h e i r f i n a n c i a l  
year was to run from one midsummer t o the next. 

Receipts from  
the s a l e of corn by the Company a l s o appear i n these accounts.  
L i s t s of Company lands are recorded but not t h e i r c a p i t a l v a l u e .  
U n l i k e the Renter Warden, who was the t h i r d i n s e n i o r ­
i t y of four Wardens, the Renter was an o f f i c e r a p a r t . 

His  
o f f i c e was d i s t i n c t but subject to frequent a l t e r a t i o n s . 

The 
 
Renter f i r s t appears i n 1469 when two persons h e l d the post j o i n t l y  
one of them e l e c t e d a n n u a l l y . For some years, f o r example  
1493-4, there seems to have only been one Renter. 

This o f f i c e r  
was made r e s p o n s i b l e to the Renter Warden i n the e a r l y s i x t e e n t h  
century and was r e f e r r e d to as an Under-Renter. 

A s i g n i f i c a n t  
change occurred i n 1520 when Thomas Wheton was e l e c t e d from the  
L i v e r y to be Renter f o r l i f e  
. 

He drew a s a l a r y and was i n charge  
of l e a s i n g p r o p e r t y . 

The Wardens r e f e r r e d r e p a i r s to him. 

I n 
 
1545 i t was decided, f o r reasons of economy, t o f o l l o w the  
example of the Mercers, Grocers, and Goldsmiths and dispense  
w i t h a p r o f e s s i o n a l r e n t e r . 

Instead one or two persons were  
chosen from the L i v e r y to act as Renter f o r a year before being  
appointed Warden. 

T h e i r d u t i e s increased as l e g a c i e s r e s u l t e d  
i n the accumulation of property and as new r e g u l a t i o n s made them  
paymasters under the a u t h o r i t y of the Wardens. 

To a s s i s t them  
an Under-Renter was appointed. 

One of the Renters was u s u a l l y  
made r e s p o n s i b l e f o r Howell's T r u s t . 

In 1547 there were f o u r  
Renters, two f o r the House, two f o r Howell's e s t a t e . 

Ten years  
l a t e r however the F r a t e r n i t y changed back t o having a s i n g l e  
s a l a r i e d Renter. 

E l e c t e d annually by the Court of A s s i s t a n t s  
he was made subordinate to the Renter Warden and given an Under- 
Renter as h e l p e r . 

T h i s continued u n t i l J u l y 1659 when the Court  
a b o l i s h e d the o f f i c e and l e t i t s f u n c t i o n s and s a l a r y pass to  
the C l e r k . Henceforth the C l e r k administered the e s t a t e s , the  
Renter's accounts remaining separate u n t i l 
1719.  
The e a r l i e s t r e n t a l dates from 1580 and was compiled by John Brooke ( e l e c t e d Renter 21 November 1580). 

I t records the q u a r t e r l y payments of Company tenants i n c l u d i n g those of Howell's e s t a t e . 

The e a r l y r e n t a l s i n c l u d e d e t a i l s of miscellaneous pay­
ments made under the d i r e c t i o n of the Renter Warden and there are d u p l i c a t e Renters' accounts f o r the 1570s, 1580s, and the e a r l y years of the seventeenth century. From about 1660 r e n t a l s and r e c e i p t of r e n t books s e t t l e down to a fors-.?t which records tenants' names, type of accommodation, and p a r t i c u l a r s of l e a s e s and r e n t s . 

Since 1810 the s e r i e s i s unbroken.

Queen E l i z a b e t h College was founded i n 1574 by W i l l i a m  
Lambarde. 

On 25*November i n t h a t year the Queen granted by 
 
L e t t e r s Patent that there should be a c o l l e g e or h o s p i t a l  
of poor persons at East Greenwich. 

Two years l a t e r the  
c o l l e g e b u i l d i n g s were up w i t h room to house 20 almspeople.  
The Master of the R o l l s was t o be P r e s i d e n t of the i n c o r p o r a t e d  
c o l l e g e , the two upper Wardens of the Drapers' Company were  
to be i t s Governors, and the Company C l e r k i t s Paymaster. 

On 
 
4 August 1578 Lambarde presented the F r a t e r n i t y w i t h "a Cupp  
of s i l v e r and g i l t " and a l s o d e l i v e r e d the ordinances f o r the  
r e g u l a t i o n of the c o l l e g e . 

E v i d e n t l y the founder intended  
t h a t the Court of A s s i s t a n t s should administer h i s c h a r i t y .  
W i l l i a m Lambarde had been born i n 1536, the son of  
John Lambarde, a wealthy London draper who became Master of  
the Drapers' Company i n 1547, 
1550, and 1552. 

Hoping to  
e s t a b l i s h a f a m i l y l i n e i n Kent, he aquired Westcombe manor  
i n East Greenwich. 

Because t h i s land was h e l d i n socage by  
the custom of g a v i l k i n d i  
t was not f r e e l y a l i e n a b l e and had 
 
to be e q u a l l y d i v i d e d among male h e i r s . 

I t was t h i s t h a t l e d  
to d i s p u t e s between W i l l i a m and h i s brother G i l e s during the  
1560s. 

I n the next decade W i l l i a m s o l d o f f h i s f a t h e r ' s  
e s t a t e s i n H e r e f o r d s h i r e , W i l t s h i r e , and some of h i s London  
p r o p e r t i e s . 

This allowed him to c o n s o l i d a t e h i s h o l d i n g s i n  
Kent which were then used t o endow Queen E l i z a b e t h C o l l e g e .  
A c o n s i d e r a b l e area of land at Greenwich was made over  
to the c o l l e g e and s e v e r a l farms were s e t t l e d to provide t r u s t  
income. 

These were a l  
l i n Kent and known as Brenchley manor  
or C r y a l ' s Farm, C h e l m i l l Farm, C u r t i s Farm, and B r a t t l e s  
messuage, as w e l l as B e l t r i n g Farm i n Y a l d i n g p a r i s h . 

Land 
 
at C h a r l t o n and Kidbrook, near Greenwich, a l s o supported the  
c o l l e g e . 

I n 1719 Pinden End Farm i n Horton K i r b y was bought  
by the Governors and a d d i t i o n a l bequests came from Ralph  
Rokesby i n 1596, Edward Waldrond i n 1720, and Joseph Macey  
i n 1791. 

Most of the above lands were s o l d o f f i n s e v e r a l  
l o t s between 1898 and 
1940. 

 
J u s t before h i s death i n 1601, W i l l i a m Lambarde had  
p e t i t i o n e d the Drapers' Company asking that the leases of the  
f i v e farms i n Brenchley and Y a l d i n g be granted to h i s h e i r s  
f o r e v e r w i t h no more than minimal r e n t i n c r e a s e s . 

This went  
unquestioned f o r over 200 years u n t i l the Attorney General  
f i l e d an i n f o r m a t i o n i n Chancery i n 1845. 

As a r e s u l t a  
Scheme was e s t a b l i s h e d i n 1856 underwhich the c o l l e g e was  
governed u n t i l 1915 when a new one was introduced by the C h a r i t y  
Commissioners. 

The almshouses themselves were r e b u i l t i n  
1818 and were subsequently expanded to number 40. 

Right of  
appointment to these places was shared by the P r e s i d e n t , the  
Wardens of the Company, the High Steward of Greenwich, and  
the p a r o c h i a l a u t h o r i t i e s of C h a r l t o n , Deptford, Eltham, Green­
wich, Lee, Lewisham, and Woolwich. 

These c o n d i t i o n s were  
modified i n 1958 and 1972 and i n 1974 a supplemental c h a r t e r  
was granted by the second Queen E l i z a b e t h .  
The c o l l e g e documents have been arranged i n three s e r i e s :  
I 
Those r e l a t i n g to Brenchley manor, C r y a l ' s Farm,  
C h e l m i l l Farm, C u r t i s Farm, B e l t r i n g Farm, Pinden End Farm,
