| Fraktur were also produced by scriveners, artists, and possibly by stonemasons. |
| The Guild of Scriveners organises the beano, which involves teams dressed up in medieval garb sampling the beer in city centre pubs. |
| The event, organised by the Guild of Scriveners, is a tradition which was originally intended to test that ale on sale in the city was of marketable quality. |
| Traditionally they were performed by tradesmen such as plasterers, capmakers, cutlers and scriveners. |
| Notaries and scriveners add to the girdle a penner, or pen-case, and a stoppered ink-bottle. |
| Other skills, such as arithmetic and handwriting, were taught in odd moments or by travelling specialist teachers such as scriveners. |
