Fraternyte of Carters
In 1517 the Carmen organised. They formed 'the Fraternyte of Seynt Katryne the Virgyn and Marter of Carters', and promised to furnish 'the kings carriages', to 'clense, purge and keep clene all the Stretes of …Donge' and to carry 'fewell…wynne, oyle, woads…within the said Citie and Suburbes' at a reasonable price. In return they were granted the right of fellowship, but not of regulation. The City still ruled.
