First Set of Ordinances

On 13 September 1415, the mayor and aldermen of London ratified a limited set of ordinances presented by the mistery of Curriers. The ordinances suggest that the curriers were already choosing wardens, but we know little of how they were chosen nor of their responsibilities. These ordinances set down that the wardens were to be elected annually, and they that had the right to supervise the craft of currying in London.

Further ordinances specified that only freemen or their apprentices might work as curriers in the city of London, that servants of the craft could not gather together without good reason, that curriers should not cause nuisance to their neighbours with their fires, and they restricted the hours that curriers might work at their trade.
