The Worshipful Company of Fletchers is one of the livery companies of the City of London.
Originally, one organisation included both bowyers (
Lord Mayor to divide into their own Company, leaving the bowyers to form the Worshipful Company of Bowyers
.
The trade of fletchers, considering the development of more technologically advanced weapons, has disappeared entirely. The Company still remains, however, primarily as a charitable institution, as do a majority of the 110 Livery Companies.
The Fletchers' Company ranks 39th in the order of precedence of the Livery Companies, immediately below the bowyers. Its motto is True and Sure.
