It was an absolute delight to visit Blackwell, The Arts and Crafts House, over the weekend.

Lovers of architecture, history and the Arts and Crafts movement will be in their element exploring this impressive house.

The house is steeped in history. You will find it fascinating to learn about it’s architect, Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott, and the original owners of the house, the Holt family.

There is currently an original Liberty chair on display. The chair has been carefully conserved by expert, Kate Gill and is on display until the 9th June. Definitely a must-see!
