Last Autumn Blackwell opened a recreated Master Arts & Crafts bedroom inspired from designs by Hugh Baillie Scott, Blackwell’s architect, interpreted by contemporary designers. The items of furniture and other objects on display are very typical of the Arts & Crafts style.
The oak bed has been created for the room from a actual design by Baillie Scott from the Pyghtle Works catalogue printed in 1901.

Is this one of the existing bedrooms refurbished or have they opened up a new room to the public? Looks beautiful, I love Blackwell.
Until recently this room had been used for temporary exhibitions. However, it was the original Master Bedroom when Blackwell was first built.
And we love Blackwell too! We visit several times a year to see the temporary exhibitions and eat in the cafe – and to experience that beautiful white drawing rooms with the views over Windermere to the Coniston Fells. A benefit of being “Friends” of the Lakeland Arts Trust
Oh yes, I agree – the cafe is god too!
I reckon one of these days we’re going to end up bumping into you up on the fells near Grasmere or in the Blackwell cafe 😉
Entirely possible!
