F J Bone refers to a number of guilds at Stratton including the "Fraternity of the Hye cross". There are references in the parish records to the Church House being used for trading, "It is probable that the name of the church house was applied to 2 or 3 contigudus houses overlooking the open space in front of the churchyard gates, and that these houses still remain. They were originally called by the name of Temple Stairs," F J Bone, The Story of Stratton Church, 1919, p45 fn.
