Worshipful Company of Carpenters

Have you ever seen someone make something out of wood? Maybe they made a birdhouse or a picture frame. Well, a long time ago, people who made things out of wood were called carpenters.

Now, there was a group of carpenters who were really good at their job. They wanted to make sure they were doing their job the best they could and that they were helping other people learn how to be good carpenters too. So, they decided to create a club called the Worshipful Company of Carpenters.

Now, this club had some special rules about who could be a member. You had to be really good at woodworking and you had to follow the rules of the club. They also had some really neat events where members would get together and show off their woodwork, eat yummy food, and talk about how to be even better carpenters.

Today, the Worshipful Company of Carpenters is still around and they help support people who want to learn more about woodworking. They also do things to help other people in their community.
