A blog recording the Peasant Arts movement in Haslemere, Surrey, UK around the early 1900s, and it's founders Joseph King, Maude Egerton King, Godfrey Blount, Ethel Blount and Greville MacDonald. Arts and crafts, religion, literature, architecture, suffragettes, family trees, local locations and strong beliefs, this story has it all. Over a century later, their promotion of the pleasures of homemade craft is still relevant today.
A small aside, but I thought the translation of my blog on this site very amusing. I do not think the description of their movement could have been imagined by the Blounts and the Kings / Sovereigns / Regents in their wildest dreams!
