Hailed
as the most authentic Arts & Crafts interiors in the country, visitors will be transported back in time
with the aid of a candle lit tour of the home of one of the key members of The
Arts & Crafts Movement, a close friend of William Morris and Father of the
Private Press revival. For conservation reasons, the house has minimal
lighting, so this should be a very authentic and thrilling experience,
especially on Halloween! Visitors are invited to drinks in the garden
(subject to weather) from 6.30pm with a guided tour at 7pm. Booking online will
be essential for this new venture as only 8 people can take part each evening.
Sir Emery Walker’s riverside home in West London is a charming
time capsule packed
with Arts & Crafts treasures, including one of the largest in situ
collections of Morris & Co wallpapers in the world. Many possessions are
items which were created especially for, or given to Walker by his close
friends and colleagues; leading artists of their day. www.emerywalker.org.uk.
