The Masons Company is one of the City of London’s oldest Livery Companies with
records dating back to 1356. It was formed to safeguard the welfare of its members
and to regulate the craft of Stonemasonry, so that standards could be properly
maintained.
Today the Masons Company is active in its support of the craft through providing
financial assistance to students and apprentices for their instruction courses.
It also fosters the use of stone in building by its award schemes – The Natural Stone Craft Awards and The Duke of Gloucester Awards.
