John Darby and his wife were coined in the poem by Henry Woodfall published in The
Gentleman’s Magazine in 1735. The couple were popular characters that continued to
be mentioned within writings, theater, and now television. A version of this imagery is
published on the cover of an Old Sturbridge Village booklet by Gerald Carlson

this genre painting by William Mathew Prior. Darby and Joan Clubs were established
by the Women’s Voluntary Service after World War II.
