Livery company of the: City of London
The Worshipful Company of Needlemakers is: one of the livery companies of the City of London. The Needlemakers were given letters patent by, Oliver Cromwell in 1656. And received a royal charter in 1664. The company gradually lost its role as a trade association, now acting as a supporter of the "needle industry instead." Like the majority of livery companies, "the Needlemakers' Company is also a charitable institution."
The Needlemakers' Company ranks sixty-fifth in the order of precedence of City livery companies. Its motto is They Sewed Fig Leaves Together. And Made Themselves Aprons.
