The Arts and Crafts Movement in Cotswold Churches by Kirsty Hartsiotis on Friday 28th February 7.30 at the Chipping Clubroom in the Chipping Car Park

An exploration of the unusually high incidence of Arts and Crafts churches and fittings in the Cotswolds. In Cotswold churches work ranging across all disciplines can be seen by those members of the Movement who had moved to the area, such as Gimson and the Barnsleys, C R Ashbee and the Guild, John Coates Carter, Henry Payne – as well as work by other designers and makers like W. D. Caröe, Christopher Whall, James Eadie Reid, and more. This talk will cover churches, church fittings, stained glass and memorials in the Cotswolds and the surrounding area. We’ll examine how Arts and Crafts designers revolutionised church design and adapted to the needs of their patrons.
