The Friends of the Dymock Poets (FDP) was founded in 1993 to be ‘Friends’ of six poets who had an association with the Dymock area of Gloucestershire, namely Lascelles Abercrombie, Rupert Brooke, John Drinkwater, Robert Frost, Wilfrid Gibson, and Edward Thomas. The FDP promotes and encourages, for the public benefit, knowledge and appreciation of the works and lives of the poets and their families and friends who lived or visited the Dymock area before and during the First World War.

St Saviour's Church Association

  • C0003
  • Corporate body
  • c. 19th century

National Schools were founded by the National Society for the Education of the Poor in the Principles of the Established Church which was formed in 1811. In 1857 the St Saviour’s Church Association supported the introduction of an Evening School in the parish and by November 1859 this had been displaced by a Day School for boys. Since the records of the Schools deposited with the College of St Paul and St Mary are incomplete, little more than a rough outline of the development of the school may be traced. However, minutes of the School Manager’s meetings in the early 1900s indicate the increasing control of the London County Council over their administration
