In this Church (as most other Churches had theirs) was a famous Guild of our Lady de Salve Regina. An Account whereof was brought in to the King upon an Act of Parliament in King Edward III. his Reign, when some special Cognizance was taken of these Guilds or Fraternities throughout England. And that we may see a little the manner and intent of these Devotions, I shall shew, what this Guild was from the Certificate thereof offered by this Fraternity: As I found it in the Tower Records.

17. Ed. III. In English thus. "Be it remembred, that Rauf Capelyn du Bailliff, Will, Double Fishmonger, Roger Lowher Chancellor, Henry Boseworth Vintener, Steven Lucas Stockfishmonger, and other of the better of the Parish of St. Magnus near the Bridge of London, of their great Devotion, and to the Honour of God and his Glorious Mother our Lady Mary the Virgin, began and caused to be made a Chauntry, to sing an Anthem of our Lady called Salve Regina, every Evening. And thereupon ordained five burning Wax Lights at the time of the said Anthem, in the Honour and Reverence of the five principal Joys of our Lady aforesaid; and for exciting the People to Devotion at such an Hour, the more to merit to their Souls. And thereupon many other good People of the same Parish, seeing the great honesty of he said Service and Devotion, proffered to be Aiders and Partners to support the said Lights and the said Anthem, to be continually sung; paying to every Person every Week an Halfpenny. And so that hereafter with the Gift that the People shall give to the Sustentation of the said Light and Anthem, there shall be to find a Chaplain singing in the said Church for all the Benefactors of the said Light and Anthem. And after the said Rauf Chapelyn by his Testament made the 18 June the year of the said King the 23. devised 3s. by Quit Rent, issuing out of one Tenement in the Parish of St. Leonard of Eastcheap.]"
