In the late 19th century the Cotswolds led the way with the Arts and
Crafts movement at Chipping Campden and William Morris at Kelmscott. Gloucestershire
was rewarded with a rich array of Arts and Crafts gardens.
Charles Paget Wade commissioned M.H.Baille Scott to build a series of
theatrical sets on the steep hillside at Snowshill while Ernest Barnsley’s
complementary interior and exterior schemes at Rodmarton Manor are now
world famous.
Lawrence Johnston created his own take on garden rooms at Hidcote.
All these gardens share the Arts and Crafts philosophy of beauty and
utility, with careful combinations of structural features and planting.
They thus became a dominant influence on countless other gardens.
