This book delves into the origins and evolution of the Worshipful Company of Horners, one of the oldest trade guilds in London. It explores the significance of horn crafting and its integral role in medieval society, offering insights into the historical context of craft guilds in England.  The narrative begins with the importance of the horner's craft, which dates back to the Saxon period, emphasizing its necessity for producing goods essential to everyday life. The book discusses the guild's evolution, its incorporation in the City of London, and the various challenges it faced throughout history, including legal battles and competition from other trades. Rosedale highlights various events, such as the Horn Fair and notable records that showcase the guild's prominence from its early beginnings to its eventual decline in trading relevance. Ultimately, the work serves as a tribute to a guild that has significantly contributed to London's socio-economic fabric throughout the centuries.
