Guild of Handicrafts
Guild of Handicrafts Review
In 1902 the Guild of Handicrafts took over this former silk mill. Arts and Crafts evangelist Charles Robert Ashbee (1863-1942) brought 150 acolytes from London, including 50 guildsmen, to revive and practice such skills as cabinetmaking and bookbinding. The operation folded in 1920, but the refurbished building houses the intriguing and very full workshops of a silversmith and a jeweler, and has a café and gallery on the ground floor.

I realized that my other ongoing report ("UK TR, so far)" was now misnamed....so I am finishing here. I started it on the 2nd (or so) day of our trip, but now we have been at home for several days.
