The list dates from the Letter of Guildry in 1605. The
election of Deans of Guild took place in October until 1957, and in March thereafter. It
has been usual from early days for Deans to be re-elected to serve a second year.
The dates below correspond with those given on the boards in the Merchants' Hall, and
give the full year after the October election: 1610 means October 1609 till October
1610; 2000 means March 2000 till March 2001. The Annual General Meeting is now held in May.
