Worshipful Company of BasketmakersPlaque Unveiling |
13th March 2002
Following the planting of the live willow basket in the Church garden in Aldermanbury Square by Past Prime Warden Norman Woolley in February 2001, the Company gathered on the 13th March 2002 for PPW John Robinson to unveil a plaque in memory of his late father PPW Dennis Robinson and his step-mother Joan.
Under the supervision of the Company's trade adviser Mary Butcher the willow was woven into a wonderful basket which has now been planted with flowers. PPW Derek Kemp CC and David Jones, head of the Corporation Parks & Gardens were also present as they had been involved with the siting and maintenance of the basket.
Prime Warden George Alford suggested all the Livery should visit this site as it represents a permanent presence in the City for the Worshipful Company of Basketmakers. Luncheon followed in the grand setting of the Guildhall Club at adjacent Guildhall.
