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.
Eric Knowles' lecture this evening was great and very entertaining. It was interesting to see him have some slides on our Haslemere peasants! I'm looking forward to tomorrow's lectures in the morning and my Peasant Walk in the afternoon.
