From front flap: 'The Guild of the Holy Cross [...] was the most influential body in mediaeval Stratford-upon-Avon. It provided for the spiritual welfare of its members, most obviously through the engagement of a body of priests later to serve in its splendid purpose-built chapel. However, as the result of extensive endowments and increasing wealth, it soon came to play a leading role in town life, providing not only a school and almshouses, but developing into a quasi-official governing body within the town.'
