    1. Re: [DBY] Girls Guild c 1920

    3. Good afternoon Further to my query regarding the photo at Chase Cliffe house taken c 1920 labelled Girls’ Guild. Further information has come to hand. At the time the Deacon family owned Chase Cliffe and this group was a social group of young ladies who regularly met there. The group may have originally been formed at the time the Hurt sisters lived there as there is some reference to the Hurt family in the records of the provider of the photo. The photo can be seen on my www.crichparish.co.uk site in the Photo album section I had thought (also suggested by a lister) that it may be connected to the Trefoil Guild as Crich has always had strong scouting connections being one of the first troops formed. However, the Trefoil was not formed until 1947 although some groups of ex-guiders did meet before then. The Girl Guides Association was formed in 1910 and in 1935 an organisation called “Old Guides” was formed.
