Three mnemonics that help remember the order of the Great Twelve (or 12 Great) Livery Companies:
My Goodness Dear Father George, Sister Mary Has Stripped In Vatican Corridor.
My gracious, darling, for goodness sake make haste since I’m very cold.
Many Gross Drapers, Fish Golden Skins, Tailors Dash Salt and Iron Fine Clothes.
Prime Wardens
These companies have a prime warden, rather than a master:
Fishmongers, Goldsmiths, Dyers, Saddlers, Blacksmiths, Basketmakers and Shipwrights.
The Weavers have an Upper Bailiff, and uniquely, the Master Bowyer serves two years.
