Guildable Manor is a Court Leet in Southwark under the authority of the City of London, along with the King's Manor, Southwark, and the Great Liberty.[1] The name of 'Guildable' first recorded in 1377 refers to the collection of taxes there and was adopted to distinguish this from the other manors of the Southwark area.[2] Its legal title, according to a Royal charter granted to the City by King Edward III in 1327, is 'the ville of Southwark' i.e. 'ville = 'town'; in the more substantive charter of Edward VI it is designated 'The Town and Borough of Southwark'[3] as is stated on its Seal.[4] It is a preserved limited jurisdiction under the Administration of Justice Act 1977.[5] Although neither a guild nor a livery company, the Guildable Manor does have a permanent organization, consisting of Officers and Jurors.
The Court of Aldermen of the City appoints a High Steward. Since 1900 this has been the Recorder of London, sitting at the Old Bailey.[6][failed verification] The Aldermen also appoint a High Bailiff, since 1750 this had been the current Under Sheriff and Secondary of London, since 2017 this is now the senior administrator of the Old Bailey.[7] Once a year, usually on the second Wednesday in November, these two officials swear into office the Jurors and their nominated Officers.
The area of the Manor includes the south-side footing of London Bridge, Southwark Cathedral, Borough Market, Hays Galleria and The Shard.[8] In 2012 a small connecting street was named 'Guildable Manor Street' to commemorate the institution, formally opened in 2018.[9]
