Residents of Whiteway Colony in the 1920s

Whiteway Colony is a residential community in the Cotswolds in the parish of Miserden near Stroud, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. The community was founded in 1898 by Tolstoyans and today has no spare land available with over sixty homes and 120 colonists.[1] At the beginning, private property was rejected and personal property shared; however, today the colonists' homes are privately owned and sold at market value.[2][3] As the colony abandoned Tolstoy's philosophy it has been regarded by many, including Mohandas Gandhi who visited in 1909, as a failed Tolstoyan experiment.[4]
