The Arts & Crafts movement in the Cotswolds

This talk had to be postponed from October to November and a last-minute change of venue to the church was required, but this did not deter some 42 members from attending.  

Gill Woods spoke knowledgeably about why 150 Londoners moved from the East End to Chipping Campden in the early 1900s and told us about the Russell family of Broadway.  Gordon Russell, after whom the Design Museum in Broadway was named, was a design pioneer, schooled in the Arts and Crafts tradition of the Cotswolds.  He had moved to Broadway in 1904 at the age of 12 when his father bought The Lygon Arms.
