CHAIRS OF THIS TYPE WERE DESIGNED BY ERNEST GIMSON, A PROMINENT MEMBER OF THE COTSWOLD ARTS AND CRAFTS MOVEMENT, FOR BEDALES SCHOOL LIBRARY (CIRCA 1919) AND FROM THIS TIME THE STYLE CONTINUED TO BE KNOWN AS THE 'BEDALES CHAIR'. GIMSON'S CHAIRMAKER, EDWARD GARDINER, IS KNOWN TO HAVE MADE THIS DESIGN FROM THE ORIGINAL COMMISSION FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AFTERWARDS. IN TURN THIS CHAIR STYLE CONTINUED TO BE MADE BY HIS SUCCESSOR, NEVILLE NEAL, WHO HAD JOINED GARDINER AS AN APPRENTICE AT HIS WARWICK WORKSHOPS IN 1939.

AN EXAMPLE OF A BEDALES CHAIR, STAMPED BY NEVILLE NEAL IS ILLUSTRATED IN ANNETTE CARRUTHERS ERNEST GIMSON AND THE COTSWOLD GROUP OF CRAFTSMEN, LEICESTER MUSEUMS PUBLICATION NUMBER 14, 1978, P.64.
