Please note that Freedom of the City is only granted by the City of London, which is separate from the Guild of Freemen.
If you want to find out more about your ancestors connected with the Freedom of the City, or simply learn more about your past, email the London Archives at ask@tla.libanswers.com. They may be able to help with historical records held by the Corporation. Our own records of Guild members date from only 1942 and regretfully we are unable to help with any enquiries about people who were granted the Freedom of the City.
FRAMES FOR FREEDOM CERTIFICATES
All Freedom matters are dealt with by the Chamberlain’s Court. The Clerk to the Chamberlain’s Court has frames available, they cost £30. They don’t normally post them because of the glass content. You can email the Court at court.assistant@cityoflondon.gov.uk to make an appointment to collect.
