Gloucester Rugby Heritage

Gloucester Rugby has a long and proud history and every corner of its Kingsholm ground has a story to tell. These accounts are revealed in a new book “Kingsholm: Castle Grim, Home of Gloucester Rugby”, which will be on special offer (£15.95 instead of £19.95) at the Club shop from the end of November. The book is the first in a series of five books planned to chart the history of the Club.

“Kingsholm: Castle Grim, Home of Gloucester Rugby” is the work of Malc King and a dedicated team of Gloucester Rugby fans, all members of the Friends of Gloucestershire Archives. It is the latest in a series of outcomes from Gloucester Rugby Heritage, a network set up in 2007 by the Friends, the Archives and Gloucester Rugby, and now a charity. Earlier successes include a website gloucesterrugbyheritage.org.uk and heritage displays in the Club’s Kingsholm premises, both funded by Heritage Lottery.
