Notes:
First published 2000. Deals with a group of architects, late 19th and early 20th century, associated with Arts & Crafts Movement, who forsook 'a conventional architectural career in a London office for a closer involvement in the building process on site ... they proved that the teaching of Arts & Crafts, founded upon a direct relationship between the artist and his work, could be successfully applied'. Includes much about the careers of, most notably, Detmar Blow, but also Alfred Powell, Philip Tilden, Herbert North, Geoffrey Lupton, Harold Faulkner and A Randall Wells
