History
The Druid Network was founded in February 2003 by Emma Restall Orr. In September 2010 the Charity Commission for England and Wales registered it under the 'religious' heading (charity number 1138265), following an academic report by Dr Graham Harvey - the first formal legal recognition of Druidry as a religion in Britain. The decision was a landmark for Pagan recognition across the UK.
