MASTER OF THE GILD - MR C. HARDCASTLE
(GILD YEAR – AGM July 2007 - AGM June 2008)

As Master of the Gild of Freemen of the City of York I welcome you to our web site and trust that you find your visit both interesting and valuable.

Prior to taking up the honour of Master, I served on the Court of the Gild in various positions and now lead that Court with much pride as the Gild’s face both within and without the City.

Our Gild has a history now 53 years old, although the Freedom, which we represent, can be traced back to medieval times and has been handed down through generations. The Gild itself has evolved and adapted and will continue to adjust to the changing times in which we live.

It is our intention to be able to fulfil the promise of our ‘Mission Statement’ serving both the needs of Freemen and of the City.

Please enjoy the contents of the remainder of this site and browse our pages at your leisure. We are always interested in your comments and will be pleased to consider any ideas you may like to suggest.
