Rodmarton provides the perfect setting for this celebration of making and of place. It is a fine Arts and Crafts house built between 1909 and 1929, designed by Ernest Barnsley for the Biddulph family, with a shared utopian vision. Built with materials that were ready to hand, the stone and wood from the surrounding landscape, the house was seen as an opportunity to provide employment and training in traditional building crafts for local people. But more than that, it was to be a focal point for the surrounding community. Villagers would gather in the house to learn embroidery and woodwork, and to enjoy plays and musical performances – including puppet shows by renowned Arts and Crafts woodcarver and marionettist William Simmonds. The Manor is an extraordinarily complete showcase for craftsmanship, almost entirely furnished and decorated by the distinguished makers, designers and artists who lived in the area at that time. Many of these figures were founding members of the Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen, so Crafts Alive can be seen as part of a long association between the Guild, the Biddulph family and the house. As well as crafts in the Cotswolds, both contemporary and historical, this five- day festival celebrates the house and its deep connection to the village and the surrounding countryside. Alongside the exhibition, there are talks, workshops, performances and special events that emphasize this connection, entitled “The Lie of The Land”. 2 A key feature of the Festival that picks up on this theme is The Village Produce Show. Sue Bradley, a knitwear designer and member of the Guild has designed a knitted vegetable installation, taking the form of a produce show, which anybody can contribute to using downloadable patterns. The project takes inspiration from Mr Scrubey, the original head gardener at Rodmarton Manor, whose portrait can be seen in the appliqued panels that hang in the house, designed by Hilda Sexton and made by local women in the 1920’s as part of a community project. Appropriately the project is also central to an ambitious outreach programme that sees the Guild supporting craft education for young people and community groups. The vision for Crafts Alive that the organisers have developed from the first, very successful, festival in 2018 is totally in keeping with the vision that shaped the creation of the house. Crafts Alive 2021 will showcase the fine workmanship of highly skilled artists and makers, but it is also underpinned by the inclusive idea that everyone should have the opportunity to experience the pleasures and satisfaction of creative work – an idea that would certainly have resonated with Ernest Barnsley and his comrades in the Arts and Crafts Movement. Paul Harper 3 2 MAIN HOUSE CRAFTS ALIVE EXHIBITORS The Exhibition, “The Lie of The Land” is curated over three floors of the house. Contemporary Crafts by 50 Gloucestershire Guild members will be shown in the historic domestic setting including the newly refurbished ‘open air’ bedroom wing as well as the atmospheric attic rooms.

Excluding listed places of worship, for which the survey is still incomplete,1,150 assets have been removed for positive reasons since the Register was launched in 2008.The sites that remain at risk tend to be the more intractable ones where solutions are taking longer to implement. While the overall number of buildings at risk has fallen, the average conservation deficit for each property has increased from £260k (1999) to £370k (2012).We are also seeing a steady increase in the proportion of buildings that are capable of beneficial re-use – those that have become redundant not because of any fundamental lack of potential, but simply as the temporary victims of the current economic climate. The South West headlines for 2012 reveal a mixed picture. We will continue to fund Monument Management It is good news that 8 buildings at risk have been removed Schemes which, with match-funding from local authorities, from the Register; less good that another 15 have had to offer a cost-effective, locally led approach to tackling be added.

  • The Arts & Crafts Movement
    The Arts & Crafts Movement The craft revival was started in the 1850’s by a group of Oxford University students, known as The Birmingham Set, led by William Morris and Edward Burne‐Jones. Although originally apolitical, the group rapidly became politicised against the “barbarity of contemporary culture” and pursued literary and artistic activities to "wage Holy warfare against the age". They were heavily influenced by the romantic works of Tennyson, Keats and Shelley; later, by the writings of Ruskin and the mediaevalist writings of Mallory’s Morte d'Arthur. Members of the group took up careers as painters, writers, designers, architects and, later, as craftsmen in wood and other materials. In 1861 Morris and some friends founded a company, Morris Marshall Faulkner & Co (later Morris & Co), which designed and made decorative objects for homes, including wallpaper, textiles, furniture and stained glass. In 1891 Morris established the Kelmscott Press, for which he designed a typeface based on 15th‐century letterforms. The press printed fine and de‐luxe editions of contemporary and historical English literature. Morris's ideas spread during the late 19th and early 20th centuries resulting in the establishment of many associations and craft communities, although Morris was not involved because of his preoccupation with promoting socialism. A hundred and thirty Arts and Crafts organisations were formed in Britain between 1895 and 1905. The Arts and Crafts Movement started in the 1880s, and the Art Workers Guild was formed in 1884. In 1885, the Birmingham School of Art, the first Municipal School of Art, became a leading centre for the Arts and Crafts movement.

We would like to thank the countless people who have helped or encouraged, those with specialized knowledge and interests as well as those responsible, indefatigably and patiently, for the daily round. We thank especially HRH The Prince of Wales for gracious permission to quote from A Vision of Britain; long-suffering parents, children, and staff; David Mlinaric (interiors); Jacob Pot and Andrew Townsend (conservation architecture); Rory Young and Ursula Falconer (lime repairs); John Sales, Penelope Hobhouse and Simon Verity (gardens); Stephen Davis and Duff Hart-Davis (fire brigades); and Joan Gould and Martin Fairfax-Cholmeley (loans).

  • This Tour Begins on Saturday, May 12, 2018 in Oxford Where Morris Met So Many Who Changed His History and the Future He Had Planned
    May 12 – 20, 2018 This tour begins on Saturday, May 12, 2018 in Oxford where Morris met so many who changed his history and the future he had planned. It was here he met Edmund Burne-Jones, with whom he decorated the Debating Union which is our first stop. It was also here that he met Jane Burden who became his wife. Dante Gabriel-Rossetti was also one of those he met and worked with on projects for some time. We are so pleased that Peyton Skipwith, who is a past Master of the Art Workers Guild, and has written extensively on the work of many of the artists we will see, and is a charming and knowledgeable traveling companion, has agreed to accompany our tour again. In addition we will be joined by such experts as Peter Cormack, Mary Greensted, Mark Eastment, and Paul Reeves. Our hosts include Malcolm Rogers, Detmar Blow, John Biddulph and Sir Nicholas and Lady Mander. We spend our first two nights at the Old Bank Hotel and our guides will be Peter Cormack and Mark Eastment. Here we’ll visit a number of sites important to Morris and other artists and architects of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Among our visits will be to the Oxford Debating Union where Morris and Burne-Jones met and painted the ceiling, anticipating the beginnings of the Pre-Raphaelites. We will visit several of the colleges that were significant to Morris – Exeter when he went to school, Manchester which has the largest set of Morris & Company windows in Oxford – seen below and St Michael’s where he and Jane were married.
