Guild / corporation
Hi,
I have included the following sentence in a book I am writing. My (able but amateur) proof reader wants to capitalise the initial letters of guild and corporation in the following sentence. Should I? (I don't think so!) ...
In 1451, the town was granted its own guild to look after the chapel and the bridges; this would be the forerunner of the town's corporation.
Thanks
Henry

In answer to your question, neither word needs capitalization without a proper name attached such as the name of the place. Also, you may remove the word own, and the word town is repetitive.
