Guild of St. John, Deritend
St John's Chapel, Deritend as its own chaplain, paying his stipend of £5 per year, and also supported a grammar school with its own schoolmaster.[1]
The Guild survived the investigations of the commissioners established by
Edward VI in 1547.[2] All of the guild's property was sold in 1549, except for the chapel itself.[3] The late 14th-century guildhall survives as the Old Crown Inn, the oldest remaining building of medieval Birmingham.[4]
The order also built the Guildhall in nearby Henley in Arden.[5]
