Ilchester Club[edit | edit source]

2, 3 Ilchester-gardens, Hyde Park, W.,[1] "just off Bayswater-road"[2]

A club for women. Opened Saturday 19 June 1897 (or perhaps the week before?):

The Ilchester Club.—A club for ladies that has neither an educational nor a political fad to serve is somewhat new. The Ilchester Club for Ladies, occupying two good houses just off the Bayswater-road, has no other object than the providing of a comfortable home for ladies of good birth, on terms which should appeal to a very large number. For the sum of £82 per annum a lady may have all the advantages of a well-conducted house, and have everything provided, including food and many of those social comforts which one does not even find in one's own house. The club starts under capital auspices, and on Saturday night it was inaugurated by the play of "Still Waters Run Deep," excellently played by the Hon. Mabel Vereker and Miss Norah Vandaleur; the former lady, I understand, largely interesting herself in the club. The male characters were cleverly sustained by Captain Baden-Powell, Captain C. E. Norton, Major Montresor, Mr. Davidson of Tulloch. Count de Seilern, the Marquis Montagliari, and Mr. Crookshank. Although the limits of the stage were very narrow, full credit was done to Tom Taylor's delightful comedy.[2]
