The Guild of the Holy Trinity in Wisbech was an important medieval religious guild that continued as the Wisbech Corporation.
It founded Wisbech Grammar School in 1379 above the south porch of St Peter's Church. [3] The Guild was a powerful force in the later Middle Ages. [2]
With other guilds it was also responsible for maintaining sea banks and sluices in the area. [4]
