Alfred Hoare Powell

Alfred Hoare Powell (1865–1960) was an English Arts and Crafts architect, and designer and painter of pottery.

They collaborated on the revitalisation of the arts and crafts, rejecting industrialisation and designing furniture decoration, embroidery and ceramics, and encouraging a communitarian spirit in the South Cotswolds.

[3] Powell also designed fireplace tiles for Tom Jones's house in St Nicholas-at-Wade: the tiles include the initials of Sidney Kyffin Greenslade (the architect who designed the house), and Molly Bernhard-Smith (the art dealer who introduced Jones to the village).

Powell's architectural work is described in Michael Drury's book, Wandering Architects: In Pursuit of an Arts and Crafts Ideal.

Now called Studio Cottage, it is a Grade II listed (2010) timber-framed house, with large grounds and a semi-circular ha-ha separating it from the surrounding land of the Rodmarton estate.
