BLACKWELL, the arts and crafts house

Blackwell is one of Britain's finest and most important houses from the turn of the last century. Designed by MH Baille Scott between 1898 and 1900, it is a superb example of arts and crafts movement.

It occupies a stunning position overlooking Windermere in the English Lake District and has recently been restored and opened to the public as a gallery for craft and applied arts.
