The Percival Guildhouse is an independent centre for adult education, situated in the town of Rugby. The house was built in the middle of the 19th century, and was for many years the home of Matthew Holbeche Bloxam, the Rugby antiquarian. Old boys of Rugby School purchased the building as a memorial to Dr John Percival, a former headmaster (1887 – 1895) and Bishop of Hereford (1895 - 1917), following his death in 1918. He was a pioneer of adult education, particularly in its provision to those whose previous educational opportunities had been limited. So it was a fitting tribute that the building became the home of the Percival Guild on its formation in 1925 to promote adult education in Rugby.
The Guildhouse provides morning, afternoon and evening classes from Monday to Friday in a wide variety of subjects. It also provides a home for a variety of clubs and groups and also has rooms for hire when available.
