Shoemakers are legally called cordwainers, from Cordovan, a town and province in Spain, from whence the leather called Cordovan was brought. The oldest association of shoemakers in Britain is the Cordwainers’ Company in London, which was first associated by Henry the Fourth, in the year 1410, by the style of the Cordwainers’ and Cobblers’ Company.
