The Percival Guildhouse (in Rugby) is one of only a handful of independent adult education centres still in existence. It was founded in 1925 however the history of adult education in the UK goes back much further. Thanks to a grant from the Lottery Heritage Fund we are able to start cataloguing and digitising our archive collection

The pages of the website will eventually comprises various material of historical interest extracted from the Percival Guildhouse archives. The website is still under construction - but is expected to be complete by September 2026.
