The Arts & Crafts Movement in North Herts

Delve into the inspiring world of the Arts & Crafts Movement and its profound impact on North Hertfordshire.

This talk explores how this influential philosophy, championing craftsmanship, natural materials, and harmonious design, found fertile ground in our district. We will specifically examine its manifestation in Letchworth Garden City, a radical experiment in urban planning guided by Arts & Crafts principles, and also uncover its presence in picturesque villages like Ickleford, where local artisans and architects embraced its ideals. Discover the enduring legacy of this movement in our architecture, design, and community spirit.
