The Arts and Crafts movement was a British and American aesthetic movement occurring in the last years of the 19th century and the early years of the 20th century.. Inspired by the writings of John Ruskin and a romantic idealization of the craftsman taking pride in his personal handiwork, it was at its height between approximately 1880 and 1910.. It was a reformist movement that influenced British and American architecture,, decorative arts,, cabinet making,, crafts, and even the "cottage" garden designs of of William Robinson or or Gertrude Jekyll. Its best-known practitioners were William Morris,, Charles Robert Ashbee,, T. J. Cobden Sanderson,, Walter Crane,, Nelson Dawson,, Phoebe Anna Traquair ,, Herbert Tudor Buckland,, Charles Rennie Mackintosh,, Christopher Dresser ,, Edwin Lutyens,, Ernest Gimson,, William Lethaby,, Edward Schroeder Prior ,, Frank Lloyd Wright,, Gustav Stickley,, Charles Voysey,, Christopher Whall and artists in the Pre-Raphaelite movement..

Part A - Current Report Church Introduction & Statement of Significance Holy Trinity Old Church in Bothenhampton, Dorset, England was built in the 13th or 14th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was declared redundant on 1 April 1971, and was vested in the Trust on 23 October 1972. The church was built in the 13thor 14th century. The chancel and the 15th century tower are the only parts of this mediaeval parish church to survive. In the 1880s the nave was demolished and the new Holy Trinity Church was built in the village by Edward Schroeder Prior. The old church continued to be used as a mortuary chapel until 1971. Subsequently, the chancel was used as a mortuary chapel. In 1971, the dilapidated state of the church lead to it being formally declared redundant and in 1972 it became the responsibility of the Redundant Churches Fund, which became the Churches Conservation Trust.

  • Architecture and the Edwardian Era
    13 MARCH 2018 Architecture and the Edwardian Era DR TIMOTHY BRITTAIN-CATLIN We have known for a long time that there is something special about Edwardian architecture. For many of us, the picture we have of it was formed through reading the work of some of the very best of Britain’s architectural historians – Mark Girouard, Andrew Saint, Clive Aslet, and in particular, Alastair Service whose enthusiastic and still authoritative books on the subject are deservedly still selling well after more than 40 years in print.i The architecture of that period was so exceptional that one can go on finding more to say about it, and the talk this evening is about a theme in Edwardian house design that perhaps has been overlooked, but which provides a new way of assessing the scope of that achievement. Architects, big and small, have always altered old houses. But what we don’t have is any acceptance that the remodelling of old buildings is a major theme in architecture in its own right. And this is what I want to say this evening about the Edwardian period: it was a sequence of alterations rather than of anything else that determined what the best buildings looked like. And when the best architects were not remodelling, they were designing new buildings that looked like remodellings. Edwin Lutyens in particular did this, and it is possible to see his work not only as that of a one-off genius but simply as a brilliant practitioner of an essentially Edwardian way of operating. In fact, none of the three big houses that I would like to present to you this evening is currently established as being in the canon of great Edwardian architecture – but I believe they should be.

  • A History of Bifrons Mansion House
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society A HISTORY OF BIFRONS MANSION HOUSE B.M. THOMAS 1. INTRODUCTION A report on the excavation of the foundations of the vanished mansion house of Bifrons in Patrixbourne has recently appeared in this Journal.1 This compilation started as a brief history of the house and its re-building and alteration over the past 400 years or so, written to accompany the work done to uncover the foundations, which was added to as further information came to light in the course of other work. 2. THE BARGRAVE FAMILY The first house on the site of Bifrons of which we have any evidence is said to have been built by a John Bargrave according to Hasted.2 Hasted says that the family were resident in the nearby village of Bridge, and John was the eldest son of Robert Bargrave who died in 1600. There is some documentary and other evidence concerning the Bargrave family - alternatively known as Bargar - but it is insufficient to explain how they came by the wealth to build a house of such generous proportions as Bifrons; though it was by no means a palace. Certainly one member of the family, Isaac, the brother of the John who is reputed to have built Bifrons, achieved some note in history by becoming Dean of Canterbury Cathedral but the father, Robert, who was buried in the chancel of Bridge church, was a tanner by trade and described as a yeoman.

The following Bibliography is a first attempt to do just that, and provides a starting point for those who want to learn more about the properties and collections in the National Trust’s care. Inevitably this list will have gaps in it. Do please let us know of additional material that you feel might be included, or where you have spotted errors in the existing entries. All feedback to [email protected] would be very welcome. Please note the Bibliography does not include minor references within large reference works, such as the Encyclopaedia Britannica, or to guidebooks published by the National Trust.

For ease of use, clicking on a hyperlink will take you from a property name listed on the Contents Page to the page for that property. ‘Return to Contents’ hyperlinks will take you back to the contents page.
