Arthur Cameron

Arthur Cameron joined the Guild of Handicraft at sixteen and became a skilled metalworker. He came to Chipping Campden with the Guild in 1902, taking a cottage with his wife and children, but the liquidation of the Guild in 1908 was his undoing. He could not find alternative work in London and slept rough for two years. His son later wrote, 'The failure of the Guild was his failure, too.'
