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.

These panels are now set into the windows of the County Museum's rear staircase.

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