The Mischief

The Mischief is notable as the first location of the Jacquard Club, a folk music group which hosted musicians such as Paul Simon.

On the south wall of the north range, which overlooks a central courtyard, is an eight-light mullion window with arched transom.

The wall also shows the spandrel of a wide arch which would have been situated above a large bay window, suggesting that the north range was once a hall.

[3] Musician Albert Cooper and his brother Tony founded the Jacquard Club, a folk music group in 1960[6] or 1964.

In the Mischief, the club most hosted performances from the likes of Paul Simon, Judy Collins, Ralph McTell in the Hickory Nuts, Tom Paxton,[6][7] and George Melly.
