| The town was French-speaking for generations, with a French-protestant temple, busy glovers, tawers, weavers and other artisans occupying the newly built houses. |
|
| Glove-making flourished in the town, and at markets and fairs glovers had pride of place at the High Cross, the base of which can be seen at the Shakespeare Centre. |
|
| I went to the library and I found out that on the site and where St John's Church now stands were the medieval guilds of glovers and cordwainers who used to make rope. |
|
| Purchased by the Glovers Association in 1693 for use as a meeting house, the house was reconstructed in 1893 to its current appearance. |
