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. ...

Alcuin Club
The Alcuin Club is an Anglican organization seeking to preserve or restore church ceremony, arrangement, ornament, and practice in an orthodox manner. The organization was founded in 1897 and named after Alcuin of York. It was a reorganization of an earlier group, the Society of St. Osmund, which was formed in 1889. The Alcuin Club's first publication, ''English Altars'' by W. H. St. John Hope, appeared in 1899. The club was especially dedicated to the ''Book of Common Prayer'' and conformity to its exact rubric. The club sought to provide academic and dispassionate vetting for proposed revisions to this Book. The club was active in the debate over the rewriting of the ''Book of Common Prayer'' in the 1920s. The club's publications were read by ecclesiastical scholars, not a popular audience. In order to reach a broader audience, the Anglican priest Percy Dearmer and later faculty member of King’s College for sacred art, worked to spread the club's message. He sought to win ar ...
