Works of the Other Haslemere Craftsmen


The Art Journal in November 1906 published an article on 'Haslemere Arts and Crafts' by R. E. D. Sketchley which covered the main craftsmen at the time.  The article contains some interesting photographs of the works of Arthur Romney Green, Luther Hooper and the St Edmundsbury Weaving Works, all of whom had work in situ at the time in St Christopher's Church in Haslemere.

  1. Thanks for the illustrations of Edmund Hunter's work. More familiar with Alec Hunter, it was interesting to see his fathers style of work.

  2. It's a pleasure. I had not seen Alec Hunter's work until I just googled it, and saw a leaping deer design that he did in 1930, which reminds me of Godfrey Blount's deer designs.

  3. Interesting how themes can travel across generations. It is not until we start to join the dots together that we realise where the influence came from and was going.
