As the Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire enters its fifth century, this talk by Dr. Chris Corker goes back to the start of Sheffield’s metalworking journey to uncover where this local specialised industry originated from.
Starting with the earliest records in Sheffield history, this talk will chart the complex journey through to the foundation of the Cutlers Company in 1624 involving local landowners, the manor court, parish church, church burgess, town trust, taxation, national government rules, waterwheels and the needs of local cutlers to defend their craft and provide for their livelihoods.
Date: Monday 1 September (7pm–9pm)
Venue: Manor Oaks House, Sheffield
