The Guild has presented a shepherd’s crook to the Chamberlain’s Court, celebrating the best-known tradition of becoming a Freeman of the City of London – driving sheep across London Bridge.
The shepherd’s crook is now on view at Guildhall in the Chamberlain’s Court Room, where Freedom ceremonies take place. We hope new Freemen will enjoy having their photographs taken with it to mark their special day.
The silver-collared shepherd’s crook was gifted by Court Assistant Lady Lauriston, who has helped to conserve rare-breed sheep in Scotland. On 27th February Lady Lauriston joined the Master and Clerk to present it to Laura Miller, Deputy Clerk to the Chamberlain’s Court.
Join our Guild party at the Woolmen’s Sheep Drive on September 27th. This is a unique year: we will be driving sheep across Southwark Bridge, as London Bridge will be undergoing maintenance. Afterwards we will gather for an informal lunch. Book now at https://www.guild-freemen-london.co.uk/events
