The Arts and Crafts House
Blackwell was designed by Arts and Crafts architect M H Baillie Scott as a holiday home for Sir Edward Holt, a brewer from Manchester who was twice Lord Mayor. Completed in 1900 this house is of international importance, standing at the crossroads of Victorian design and modern architecture of the 20th century. It is all the more remarkable that so much of the original interior decoration has survived intact. Rarely does a house from this period escape the march of progress made in the twentieth century in domestic living, and the many alterations for 'modernisation' that this brings.
