George Henry Hart (1882-1973) was one of the original silversmiths who moved with Charles Ashbee and the Guild of Handicraft from London to Chipping Camden in 1902. From 1912 he took over the running of the workshops but with the difficult conditions after the First World War he concentrated on farming until his success in the 1926 and 1927 Goldsmith's Company competitions. He was made a Freeman in 1929 and was joined in 1930 by his son, Henry. In 1933 he became a Liveryman. For a time he was joined by Reynell Huyshe and the impressed mark on some metal wares was Hart and Huyshe, Campden, Glos. Huyshe was more of an academic and left to teach at the Gravesend School of Art where he taught, among others, Alex Styles. Now George Hart's grandson David Hart is left to continue the work of the Guild of Handicraft.
