THE BROMSGROVE GUILD

Some examples of the Guild's work held in the collections of
Worcestershire County Museum.

The Bromsgrove Guild began in the late 19th century as an Arts & Crafts movement group. They manufactured objects in many media - metal, wood, plaster, bronze, tapestry and glass. The Guild survived until the early 1960s - far longer than other Arts & Crafts companies such as that of William Morris. The Guild's influence was widespread; one of their members was lost en route to the USA sailing on the ill-fated RMS Titanic. Perhaps the Guild's most famous objects - certainly those most seen by the public - are the main gates of Buckingham Palace.

Examples of Bromsgrove Guild stained glass can still be
in seen in their original locations, many in
churches throughout England.
