Worshipful Company of Skinners

   

The Worshipful Company of Skinners is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London. It was originally an association of fur traders. It has evolved into an educational and charitable institution, supporting schools such as Tonbridge School and The Judd School in Tonbridge, Kent in the United Kingdom.

Under an order issued by the Lord Mayor of London in the fifteenth century, 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 annually with the Merchant Taylors' Company.

The Company's motto is To God Only Be All Glory.
