Welcome

Welcome to the Gild of the Freemen of York website.

We hope to make this site a valuable resource for Gild members, other Freemen of York (and elsewhere) and interested non-Freemen wherever they might live.

  • New booking forms for the Yorkshire Day Charity Concert and the Three Guilds Annual Dinner are now available on our downloads page.
  • AGM - The Gild Annual General Meeting was held in Bedern Hall on Friday the 27th June 2008 at 7.30pm. Our new Master is Tom Gibson and you can read his inaugural speech here.
  • The Visitors Book is now running again - please leave us a message.
  • Updates to the Past Masters of the Gild page - click here.
  • 'Tom's Jottings' - Reviving an old favourite from the now defunct 'Gild News'. Available to view here.
     
  • Other recent additions to the site are entries on the Freemen Today page, Origins, and Merchandise pages, updates to the Diary page with all our forthcoming events and downloadable application forms for both becoming a Freeman of the City of York and Joining the Gild.
  • Older items of news can now be found on the archive page.

Don't forget our Visitors Book (please leave us a comment when you visit). We plan to add further updates in the near future - watch this space!

Any contributions that would help us to complete the historical aspects of the site would be gratefully received. Please send any comments to admin@freemenofyork.org
