The Guild of Play was founded by Dame Grace Kimmins as part of the programme of the Bermondsey Settlement. Its aim was to arrange play and drama activities for children from the East End slums. Many of the children involved were given holidays at Chailey and there was an arrangement for teenage girls to attend the School of Housewifery and Domestic Economy there for training. The St Nicholas Home for Raid-Shock Children was based at Chailey between 1917 and 1919 and the Botches Home was opened there in 1918. There is an index of accounts |
