frith

Frith Gilds, with much the same objects, had been common anterior to the Conquest.

Near the Percy chapel stands the ancient stone chair of sanctuary, or frith-stool.

Frith was chosen, we have been told, because Ruskin wanted some one who could not be thought biased in his favour.

The Frith Gilds had rules for helping the gild-brothers in every need.

In the above list the most interesting picture, in many respects, is Mr. Frith's "Dolly Varden."
