Background

History

The house dates from the 14th century when it was built for the Clifford family. Major revisions to the fabric of the building occurred around 1620 and again in 1717. In 1674 the "High Building" was added, by John Hancox, which has four storeys and an attic. When Gimson died in 1919, Peter Waals continued to run the Daneway Workshops for two years. From 1922 until his death in 1933 the house was let, as a country retreat, to Emery Walker, founder of Doves Press and close friend of William Morris. After 1948 it was the home of architect Oliver Hill. It was further restored in the 1960s.
