About this Event:

Clive Aslet draws on the archive of Country Life to showcase 25 major country houses designed by the foremost architects of the Arts and Crafts movement, including Lutyens, Webb, Williams-Ellis and Blow. The movement was a reaction to the Industrial Revolution and was inspired by a vision of life based on the revival of traditional building crafts and use of local materials. Country Life, founded in 1897, championed the movement in a series of weekly articles accompanied by specially commissioned photographs. These now constitute a unique record of the Arts and Crafts houses.

Aslet, who was editor of Country Lif for 13 years and is now editor-at-large, explains how the Arts and Crafts movement is still influencing architects today.
