Excerpt from Craft Gilds: A Paper Read by the Rev. W. Cunningham, D.D., At the Thirteenth Annual Meeting of the Society, 25th June, 1890Winchester may be mentioned in particular, as the ordinances of these towns have survived, and there are incidental references which seem to show that the weavers, and the subsidiary crafts of fullers and dyers had, even in the twelfth century, considerable powers of regulating their respective trades. The evidence becomes more striking if we are justified in connecting with it the cases of other towns, where we find that regulations had been enforced with regard to cloth, and that the townsmen were anxious to set these regulations aside, and buy or sell cloth of any width.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
