Campden School of Arts & Crafts

The Campden School of Arts and Crafts was started in 1904 by C. R. Ashbee in a malthouse at the back of Elm Tree House in the High Street. Practical skills like cooking, laundry, gardening and physical fitness were taught, as well as craft skills. The School was closed down in 1916, but it was revived thirty years later, and classes are still held in Chipping Campden.
