VINTNERS, one of the twelve principal companies, were anciently denominated _Merchant wine tunners of Gascoyne_, and were of two sorts, the _Veneatrii_, who imported the wine, and the _Tabernarii_ who sold it by retail, either kept taverns or wine cellars. They were however incorporated by letters patent granted by King Henry VI. in the year 1437, by the name of the master, wardens, freemen and commonalty of the mystery of Vintners of the city of London; but without the power of making by-laws. They are governed by a master, three wardens, twenty-eight assistants, with a livery of 194 members, who, upon their admission, pay a fine of 31_l._ 13_s._ 4_d._ They are possessed of a very considerable estate, out of which is paid to charitable uses about 600_l._ a year, and have a handsome hall in Thames street, where was formelry the house of Sir John Stody, who gave it the company: it was called in antient records the place of Stody, or the manor of the Vintry. The buildings enclose a square court, and in the north front next the street is a large and handsome gate, with columns wreathed with grapes and supporting a Bacchus on three tons. Behind the hall is a garden through which is a passage to the Thames. VINTNERS ALMSHOUSE, at Mile-end, was founded by the company of Vintners, for the use of twelve widows of deceased members, each of whom receives 3_s._ a week, and every year a chaldron of coals, and about 40_s._ given at certain times. _Maitland._
