The Clerk
The office of Clerk is first mentioned in the seventeenth century when the Company began to have regular Meetings and minutes. Among the many praiseworthy Clerks who have served the Basketmakers must be mentioned Henry Hodgkinson Bobart, MBE, FSA. He was appointed in 1907 and held the post for forty-six years. He wrote the first history of the Company and Basketwork through the Ages - a definitive volume on the subject - and was Prime Warden 1947-48.
The present Clerk is Roger de Pilkyngton, who took office on the 1st January 2004, succeeding Major G. J. Flint-Shipman, formerly Prime Warden 1993-94, and latterly Clerk, and whom, as the Company's Honorary Archivist, compiled the excellent short history of the Basketmakers' Livery Company.
