The Worshipful Company of Glass Sellers ranks 71st in precedence amongst the City’s Livery Companies and received its incorporated Charter in 1664. This, together with an earlier Charter dated 1635 which was not incorporated by the Alderman’s Court, for reasons which are now obscure, are both still held by the Company. The 1630’s were troubled times and problems in the glass trade periodically collided with a background of political unrest.
