Synopsis
Excerpt from The Old Guilds of England
These Frith Guilds held monthly meetings with a feast, the remains of which were given to the poor; and on the death of a member each brother gave a loaf for the benefit of the Guild, and sang fifty psalms, or paid someone else to do so. Each member also contributed fourpence towards a fund to reimburse mem bers from accidental losses, and one shilling each when a thief was to be caught. The ranks of the members were divided into bodies of ten each, and 100 seems to have constituted a company under an acknowledged leader.
In later days the Guilds at Berwick-ou Tweed, which was obviously liable to raids from Scotsmen, pursued a similar plan to that of the Frith Guilds, and orders were given that where several Guilds were found in the same place, they should unite for defence, and the pious wish was expressed that the members should have a strong and hearty love for 'one another.
