Daneway House

It the early 20th century it became a workshop and showroom for Ernest Gimson and the Barnsley brothers who were important designers of the arts and crafts movement.

[2][1] Daneway House was lent by Lord Bathurst to Ernest Gimson and the Barnsley brothers after their move from Pinbury Park and it formed a suitable display case for their traditionally designed arts and crafts furniture.

[3][4] When Gimson died in 1919, Peter Waals continued to run the Daneway Workshops for two years.

[5] From 1922 until his death in 1933 the house was let, as a country retreat, to Emery Walker, founder of Doves Press and close friend of William Morris.

The four-storey "High Building", which was added around 1620, has a moulded parapet gable at each end and a small stair turret.
