Since 1675, the Worshipful Company of Gunmakers has been located just outside Aldgate and the old<br />
walls of the City of London, i.e. it is the only Livery Company located outside the City walls. The<br />
Company operates the Proof House, which has statutory powers to test and regulate the safety of<br />
firearms. Under the provisions of the Gun Barrel Proof Act, all guns sold in the United Kingdom must<br />
undergo proof to test the basic soundness of barrel and action. Together with the Birmingham Gun<br />
Barrel Proof House, the London Proof House provides proofing and other services to the British gun<br />
trade. The Proof Master may also be requested to investigate accidental gun and barrel failures.<br />
The visit will include an introduction to the Company, a tour of the Workshop by the Proof Master and<br />
a three-course lunch in the Court Room.<br />
