Trip to the Barber Institute

WEDNESDAY 25th September

BARBER INSTITUTE and WINTERBOURNE HOUSE

The Barber Institute contains one of the finest small collections of European art in the UK.

WINTERBOURNE HOUSE and GARDENS

Winterbourne is a rare surviving example of an early 20th century suburban villa and garden. The house was built in 1903 for John and Margaret Nettlefold. Nettlefold was a pioneer of town planning who carried the ideas seen in his own home to the less wealthy areas of the city. It follows the style of the Arts and Crafts movement with examples of local craftsmanship throughout the house. Margaret Nettlefold designed the garden, inspired by the books and garden designs of Gertrude Jekyll.
