The former home of artist, designer and craftsman Frank Dickinson (1874-1961). Designed and built by Dickinson between 1902-04, the Grade II* listed interior was created entirely by him, inspired by the ideals of Ruskin, Carlyle & Morris, in an eclectic mix of Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau and Glasgow School style. Rescued by the local Council in 1972, restored and opened to the public in 1974, it stands as a unique testament to the power and influence of the English Arts and Crafts Movement.
