AP-0010 from 1930 George Hart → Henry Hart
Hart's, the Old Silk Mill, Chipping Campden
George Hart came to Chipping Campden with C. R. Ashbee's Guild of Handicraft in 1902 and kept the silver workshop going after the Guild dissolved in 1908. He taught the trade to his son Henry, who joined the Old Silk Mill workshop in 1930 and went on to run it for decades. The first father-to-son transmission in a Hart line that has now reached four generations.
