| Summary | "Craft Gilds" by W. Cunningham is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the significance of craft gilds during the Middle Ages, particularly focusing on their role in regulating various trades and maintaining quality standards in workmanship. Cunningham examines the structures and functions of these organizations, shedding light on their impact on the crafts and industries of the time. In the text, Cunningham delves into the evolution of craft gilds, describing their origins and the importance of oversight regarding the quality of goods produced. He outlines the various responsibilities they held, including regulating training for apprentices and ensuring honest practices within guilds. Using examples primarily from Coventry, he illustrates the tensions between craft gilds and municipal authorities, as well as disputes among different gilds and their members.
