They have been hounded for condoning the very malpractices they
swore to purge, so losing rank among the great City Livery
Companies. Five of their seven Halls were burned down or bombed.
They have struggled for want of money. But none of this has stopped
their generosity or great enjoyment of life. Using entirely
original, contemporary sources, Courtney brings this eventful
history to life, through the exploits of the prominent Liverymen,
the farmer, the breeder of livestock, the drover, and even the
customers themselves. Today, the Butchers are one of the very few
ancient City Companies left whose Livery is drawn almost
exclusively from within their trade, which makes them as relevant
today as ever they were, forever...A cut above the rest.
