Carol Service Entertainment
Barbers Historical Society  After the Christmas Carol Service, the company was entertained by musicians, and composed poems about the event.  The Barbers Historical Society, at its earlier meeting, enjoyed a buffet supper and listened to presentations about the life and times of past Masters.
At a Barbers' Evening on 25th October, the Master introduced our lecturer, Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch, who spoke on "A Barber goes to China, reshaping Christian History in Print and on TV".

The Company has close links with the Royal College of Surgeons of England.  Indeed until the two organisations split, in the Eighteenth Century, the two were united.  Hence the Company's Hall is Barber-Surgeons' Hall.  Our site contains information about the Company, past and present, its Master, Wardens, Court of Assistants and Officers, and its programme.  It covers our hall and its treasures, and links to other sites.  Although this is the official site of the Company, not all the information will have been cleared by the Company though much has been derived from its official publications.
