  • Early History of Christ Church Chalford
    Early History of Christ Church Chalford The chapel at Chalford was originally built in 1724-5; the nave with its Romanesque pillars dates from this time and there was also a gallery along the north aisle. In 1840, an appeal went out for subscribers to fund an enlarged church and also open a graveyard, so that the new 'ecclesiastical district' of Chalford could be formed, separate from the parish of Bisley, of which it had hitherto formed part. In 1841, the church was extended to the east, in accordance with plans drawn up by Foster of Bristol, the existing walls being lengthened and the new rectangular sanctuary constructed. The south porches were added in 1857, and the gallery dismantled in about 1890. The chief glory of this parish church lies in its Arts and Crafts Movement furnishings. These represent a late flowering of the style which took inspiration from the ideas of William Morris and which had been nurtured and developed in the Sapperton workshops of Ernest Gimson and Ernest and Sidney Barnsley. The organ gallery was built by Peter Waals' workshop and erected in 1927. Peter Waals had moved to Halliday's Mill, Chalford in 1919 after the early death of Gimson, whose foreman he had been since 1902. Most of Gimson's skilled craftsmen moved with Waals to the new workshop, where they continued to work to the very high standards of craftsmanship demanded by Waals. 1n 1932, the chancel screen, designed by Norman Jewson (the 'Arts and Crafts' architect and designer) and made in Peter Waals' workshops, was erected.

  • The Architect and Key Craftsmen for St Edward’S Church, Kempley
    The Architect and Key Craftsmen for St Edward’s Church, Kempley Arthur Randall Wells (1877 – 1942) Randall Wells, the son of an architect, was born in Hastings. In 1901 – 02, he worked with William Lethaby as his resident architect for All Saint’s church at Brockhampton‐ by‐Ross, where Lethaby's experimentation with the direct employment of labour under a site architect, and few drawings, gave Wells freedom to evolve the design as the building rose and to engage in the physical activity of building. In parallel to collaborative projects with other architects, Wells developed an independent practice. He built the Church of St Edward the Confessor, Kempley as a chapel‐of ease (1903‐4), for the 7th Earl Beauchamp. It has similarities to All Saints, Brockhampton and to St Andrew's, Roker, which it pre‐dates. St Edward's, described by Betjeman as "a mini‐cathedral of the Arts and Crafts movement", was built under his direction from local materials by local labour. He subsequently worked on many other projects including building modifications at Madresfield Court. Ernest Gimson (1864 – 1919) Gimson was born in Leicester in 1864, the son of an engineer. He studied at the Leicester School of Art and at 21 years had gained some experience working in an architect’s offices. He was inspired by William Morris who recommended him to John Dando Sedding for whom he worked for 2 years. He developed an interest in craft techniques, especially using natural textures and surfaces, naturalistic detail of flowers, leaves and animals, always drawn from life; he believed in a close involvement of the architect in the simple processes of building and in the supervision of a team of craftsmen.
