with the Church. Each of the older
guilds was under the protection of a

of service for the souls of the de-
parted members of the guild, and on
the day itself the ceremonies began
with the celebration of Mass.

ancestors, and to the praise of AL
mighty God" 1t was his intention
that the palace and surrounding lands
should remain for all time as an ap-
panage of the Abbey of Westminster;
but this was speedily altered by Will
liam the Conqueror, who exchanged it
with the monks for other property in
Essex.
