Visit to the Donald Green Archive at Historic England, February 2026

Finally, Erika visited the Donald Green Archive at Historic England, Swindon. In total there are 39 boxes of non-digitalized and non-catalogued research. The majority of Archive is devoted to William Morris and Co. Boxes 29-36 are devoted to Glasby. Boxes 28-29 contain slides of Glasby Windows. Boxes 35-38 contain typed chronological Correspondence, outgoing from Donald Green. It is very strange that there are no "replies" in the Archive. We presume these are to be found in the one disk in the Archive. However, Historic England have informed us that the disk is "old technology" and cannot be read. This is unfortunate and disappointing because we presume this is where Green collated his research notes. There are some miscellaneous files and a file of documents on the Glasby family which Green must have discovered at Henfield Museum. There is very little information on Constance Glasby and Barbara Glasby but a lot of information on DulcimaGlasby who was a more public figure.
