Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft is located in Ditchling, East Sussex, England (50°55′19″N 0°6′59″W / 50.92194°N 0.11639°W / 50.92194; -0.11639, OS Grid Reference TQ 32486 15293).

It specialises in showcasing the artists and craftspeople who made Ditchling a creative hub in the 20th century, such as Eric Gill, the sculptor, printmaker and typeface designer, Edward Johnston, designer of the London Underground font, and printer Hilary Pepler.

The museum is located in the centre of the village just below Saint Margaret's Church on a site that was founded in 1985 by sisters Hilary and Joanna Bourne[3] as a place to display their collection of local artworks.

[4] The refurbishment, completed in late 2013, was designed by London practice Adam Richards Architects.

After the school closed in 1983, the Bourne sisters saved the building from demolition and developed it into their museum.
