Warham Guild
__NOTOC__ The Warham Guild was an Anglican organization of craftsmen and artisans, founded to "augment the studies of the Alcuin Club and the directives of ''The Parson's Handbook''" with "the making of all the 'Ornaments of the Church and of the Ministers thereof' according to the standard of the Ornaments Rubric, and under fair conditions of labour." It was named for William Warham, who served as Archbishop of Canterbury in the period leading up to the break with papal authority. The guild was founded in London in 1912. It was headed by Percy Dearmer until his death in 1936. After that point the guild became closely associated with AR Mowbray, a business producing church vestments. This business was acquired by ecclesiastic retailer J. Wippell & Co in 1969, which today owns the guild's vestment patterns. The guild published a number of works detailing the design of church building and their ornaments, and outlining how the guild approached producing new ornaments and vestments. T ...
