Percival Guildhouse

The Percival Guildhouse is an independent adult education centre and registered charity in Rugby, Warwickshire, England.

[1][2] It is based in a building on St Matthew Street in the town centre, which dates from the mid-19th century, and which was once the home of the antiquarian Matthew Bloxam (1805-1888).

[3] The Percival Guild was founded in 1925 to promote adult education in Rugby, named after John Percival, a former headmaster of Rugby School.

Some old boys of Rugby School purchased Bloxam's old home to house the institution creating the Guildhouse.

[1] Today it provides morning, afternoon and evening classes from Monday to Friday in a wide variety of subjects, and has an attached cafe and adjacent gardens which are open to the public, and are alongside the Rugby Art Gallery, Museum & Library.
