In recognition of his crucial role in establishing the Guild, Lord Brooke was honoured as Founding Master. Last week he handed on the Master's robe to Geoffrey Bond, a former Sheriff of the City with wide-ranging interests in heritage and the arts. At the same time more than 40 members were at Furniture Makers' Hall to receive the freedom of the Guild.
