Excerpt from Beverley Town Documents
There can be few municipal records which give a more succinct and complete view of the laws and legal customs prevalent in an English mediaeval town than the Great Gild Book of Beverley, whence the bulk of the present volume is drawn. It presents a code Of the laws of the domestic forum of what in after days would be called the corporation of the town drawn Up at the beginning of the fifteenth century, with later additions up to 1582, and similar codes of the minor corporations of the craft gilds, imperia in imperio, which were nominally subject to and constituted by the town corporation, but in fact Often controlled it.
To present as complete a picture as possible of the constitutional law of the town, the extracts from the Great Gild Book have been prefaced with some documents of an earlier date, the latter half of the fourteenth century, drawn from a small folio, bound in parchment, in the possession of the Town Council, written on paper, in the early part of the reign of Henry VI., and so called here the Paper Register.
