Administrative / biographical background:

The Gloucester School of Cookery and Domestic Economy was opened in 1891 for training teachers of domestic science. In 1900 the College was renamed the Gloucestershire School of Domestic Science and grew to become one the largest domestic science schools outside London.

 

In 1925 the School was renamed the Gloucestershire Training College of Domestic Science and, since 1967, the Gloucestershire College of Education. The College closed in 1980, but the Guild continued until 1990

 

The Guild was created to advance the interests of the college and to keep members in touch with the School and each other through meetings, publications and re-unions
