There is an article in the Guild of One-Name Studies periodical on livery companies.  There are many books about the history of these early guilds. A number of these are in the Guildhall Book collection.  I have a handout I give for talks on this topic I can send to you if you would like a copy.

I will send a copy of the handout to your personal e-mail.  I also have a research course at Family Search that is the power point presentation I do for groups re: livery companies if you are interested.  If you do go there to review it, I would appreciate your feedback to me at my personal e-mail address. [email protected]  You may find other resources there as, well, re: apprenticeships.
