English Gymnosophical Society

English Gymnosophical Society


English Gymnosophical Society was a society of like minded persons established some time during the early 1920s to discuss naturism. A few years later it renamed itself the "New Gymnosophy Society" and began holding organised meetings at The Camp in Wickford, Essex in 1924 thus forming the first actual naturist club in the United Kingdom.
