This important Arts and Crafts house was designed in 1909 by Ernest Barnsley for Claud and Margaret Biddulph. As well as providing a country home the project was seen as a way of supporting traditional crafts and providing employment and training for local people. It was built more or less by hand using local stone and oak felled on the estate - you can still see the two-handled pit saw used to prepare the massive tree trunks. Large estate workshops were set up employing men and apprentices from the surrounding villages. Rodmarton’s gardens were designed in the Arts and Crafts style as a series of outdoor rooms so that the formal layout near the house gave way to more natural planting. The contribution of both the foreman Alfred Wright and head gardener William Scrubey was acknowledged with a dedication over the side entrance to the garden. Important designer-makers such as Sidney Barnsley, Peter Waals and Alfred and Louise Powell contributed to the furnishing of the house. Local people were also involved - classes in different crafts such as woodwork and basket-making were held regularly. Outstanding work was produced by the Rodmarton Women’s Guild whose appliqué hangings designed by Hilda Sexton were exhibited in London and still astound visitors. Some of the original craftsmen at Rodmarton were founder members of the Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen in 1933 so it is entirely appropriate that the Guild should be using the house and gardens as the setting for Crafts Alive. We have been welcomed and supported by John and Sarah Biddulph, the fourth generation of the family to live at Rodmarton, and all of us hope that you will enjoy taking part in this celebration of Cotswold traditions and craftsmanship.

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.

  • Megalithic Chamber Tombs Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary
    Megalithic Chamber Tombs Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary Historic England’s Introductions to Heritage Assets (IHAs) are accessible, authoritative, illustrated summaries of what we know about specific types of archaeological site, building, landscape or marine asset. Typically they deal with subjects which have previously lacked such a published summary, either because the literature is dauntingly voluminous, or alternatively where little has been written. Most often it is the latter, and many IHAs bring understanding of site or building types which are neglected or little understood. This IHA provides an introduction to megalithic chamber tombs, often dating to early in the Neolithic period around 3500 BC, they are referred to here for simplicity as ‘tombs’ whatever their true function. Descriptions of megalithic chamber tombs and a brief chronology from 3755 BC to 1500 BC are included. Radiocarbon dating along with the presence of artefacts indicates that they were in use at the same time as causewayed enclosures and similar monuments and it has been suggested that there may have been a functional connection between the two types of monument. A list of in-depth sources on the topic is suggested for further reading. This document has been prepared by Dave Field and edited by Joe Flatman, Pete Herring and David McOmish. It is one of a series of 41 documents. This edition published by Historic England October 2018. All images © Historic England unless otherwise stated.

Take time to explore St Mary’s Church, a Gothic gem which has one of the tallest spires in Britain, and the Tetbury Police Museum, housed in the town’s old police cells. The town is well-known for its independent shops, including antiques, vintage and interiors, exclusive boutiques, and the Highgrove shop.
