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.  Location map
