Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors

One of the Livery Companies of the City of London. Its motto is Concordia Parvae Res Crescunt (In Harmony Small Things Grow) from the Roman historian Sallust.

1327 first incorporated under a Royal Charter - originally known as the Guild and Fraternity of St. John the Baptist in the City of London confirmed by later charters in 1408, 1503 and 1719

1484 Under an order issued by mayor Robert Billesden the Company ranks in sixth or seventh place (making it one of the Great Twelve City Livery Companies) in the order of precedence of the Livery Companies, alternating with the Worshipful Company of Skinners' Company. The annual switch occurs at Easter. The Merchant Taylors are normally sixth in the order of precedence in odd numbered years, and at seven in even numbered years.

It owns Merchant Taylors' School in Sandy Lodge and several other schools.
