Notes:

Guild of St. Anne, Knowle, Warwickshire, England

The Guild House was the headquarters

of the Guild of St. Anne, a charitable 
and religious guild established by Walter

Cook in 1413.  At its height it had 
over 3,000 members, including many senior churchmen

and most of the local 
gentry  In 1416 Walter Cook founded the College of Knowle, a religious
 establishment

providing a communal life for the resident priests.  Both 
Guild and College were

dissolved at the Reformation in 1547 and their 
property confiscated;  but the second

Guild register (1451-1535) miraculously 
survived and is now in Birmingham Reference

Library.  It is a world-renowned 
source for the early history of the Shakespeare

family.
