Between 1890 and 1930, Arts and Crafts architecture proliferated
within the Cotswolds. The range and quality of the buildings was
exceptional, as the region provided the perfect environment for the
Movement's ideals and principles to flourish. Arts and Crafts
architects relished the robust vernacular precedent that served to
focus their ideas and stimulate their creativity. Its rational
basis and dependence on craft skills had lasting relevance, and it
was no coincidence that the most infl uential aspect of their work
was its emphasis on conservation. This new and updated paperback
edition provides a guide to the general characteristics of Cotswold
Arts and Crafts structures, with chapters on the various types of
new commissions to be found, as well as repair and remodeling
projects. The final chapter discusses the late flowering of Arts
and Crafts work that occurred during the interwar period and
beyond, and the legacy of this important body of work at a local
and national level.
