Worshipful Company of Barbers
https://barberscompany.org/The Worshipful Company of Barbers is one of the livery companies of the City of London, and ranks 17th in precedence.
The Fellowship of Surgeons merged with the Barbers' Company in 1540, forming the Company of Barbers and Surgeons but after the rising professionalism of the trade broke away in 1745 to form what would become the Royal College of Surgeons.
The company no longer retains an association with the hairdressing profession, and principally acts as a charitable institution for medical and surgical causes. In modern times, between one-third and one-half of the company's liverymen are surgeons, dentists or other medical practitioners.
