Unthinking, Untractable and Ungovernable
The Fellowship of Carmen was authorised in 1668. In 1690 the two Companies vied for control. The Carmen accused their rivals of cheating. The response was unpleasant, if with a grain of truth - Carmen were 'unthinking…untractable and ungovernable by themselves or one another nor without great difficulty by their Superiores'.
In 1700 the Carmen withdrew and by 1746 the Woodmongers had faded away.
