Established early in 1916 by H. Douglas C. Pepler at Ditching, Sussex, the St. Dominic's Press was a continuation of the founder's efforts at Hampshire House Workshops, Hammersmith. His aim was to earn a living by printing by hand instead of employing others to do it for him. From the start, Eric Gill was closely associated with the press, illustrating with wood-engravings many of the press's publications. In the main the books produced were small in a simple format but well designed. In 1940, under new management, the name of the press was altered to the Ditchling Press and ceased to be a private press.
