In the beginning of the 17th Century, the buildings and Church having become the Property of Dr. [Doctor] William Guild one of the Ministers of the town, he bestowed them upon the incorporated Artificers, by a deed of Mortmain, for the purpose of establishing an hospital, for their decayed brethren."
