The Skinners: A Legacy of Prestige and Valor From the distinguished lineage of Sir Andrew Judde, Lord Mayor of London, to the grandeur of Skinner's Hall on Newgate Hill, the Worshipful Company has left an indelible mark on history. With their armorial proudly displayed on maps of London and their presence felt in various spheres, they have truly etched themselves into the annals of time. One cannot overlook the valorous deeds performed by Skinner's Horse at Exercise in 1840. As representatives of the British Indian Army during World War I, they stood as a symbol of courage and resilience. Their legacy lives on through captivating black and white photographs capturing Messrs Lilley and Skinners' Boot Shop on Oxford Street—a testament to their enduring influence. Delving further into history reveals that even irregular cavalry units in Bengal Army recognized their prowess. Plate 5 from Journal of a Route across India showcases these brave warriors who bore witness to countless battles fought with unwavering determination. Beyond military exploits, it also find solace amidst nature's beauty. The Columbine or Aquilegia species—such as Mexican columbine (Aquilegia skinneri)—serve as a reminder that even amid tumultuous times, there is respite found within delicate petals. As arms adorn City Companies' emblems throughout London, so too does Skinner's Horse grace canvases depicting scenes from c. 1840—an oil painting capturing their majesty for all eternity. Intriguingly diverse yet united by a common thread—the name "Skinners"—these hints paint a picture rich with heritage and significance. From influential figures like Sir Andrew Judde to landmarks like Skinner's Hall, this esteemed company continues to leave an indelible mark upon our collective memory—a testament to centuries-old traditions upheld with utmost pride.
