Cordwainers were traditionally high-end tradesmen who used superior materials to make footwear. Organisations of Cordwainers in Britain were first granted ordinances in the 13th Century.
There are no records to say where these 2 Taverns were located, but the lack of information in the archives itself, suggests that these Taverns may have been of early origin.

Cordwainers Arms was still in existence in the 1660's
