The Worshipful Company of Bowyers is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London, England.
Originally, the Bowyers (longbow makers) and Fletchers formed one organisation. However, in 1371, the Fletchers petitioned the Lord Mayor of the City of London to divide into their own Company.
The actual trade of the Bowyers, the making of Longbows, is still thriving. Although originally made for use in war, there is now a large demand for bows used in target archery. There are several practicing Bowyers in the membership of The Company and the Company still takes a great interest in the craft. The Bowyers are also involved in the sport of archery and give awards and medals each year at the Royal Toxophilite Society and school competitions.
The Company remains a charitable institution, as do a majority of Livery Companies.
The Bowyers' Company ranks thirty-eighth in the order of precedence of Livery Companies, immediately above the Fletchers.
Its motto is Crecy, Poitiers, Agincourt, a reference to the Battle of Crécy, the Battle of Poitiers, and the Battle of Agincourt, all battles between medieval England and France in the Hundred Years' War in which longbows and English longbows were used to great effect by English and Welsh archers.
HMS Northumberland is affiliated to it.
