The Mute Swan has been a Royal bird since around 1189. In 1483 an Act of Parliament was passed which enacted that only the monarch could grant possession of Swans, and thus a Swan Mark.
The first documented presence of dyers inhabiting the banks of The Thames occured around the mid 1400’s. A letting of a Dye House in Thames St (Lower Thames St) is dated 1457 and there was known to be a concentration of Dyers in the parish of All Hallows the Less.
The Worshipful Company of Dyers (more commonly referred to as The Dyers’ Company) is one of the ancient Livery Companies of the City of London.
