Rounton Grange, East Rounton, Yorkshire: A Regretted Loss to Arts & Crafts Architecture This evocative photograph captures the once magnificent Rounton Grange, a country house masterpiece designed by the renowned Arts & Crafts architect Philip Webb in 1870 for Sir Isaac Lowthian Bell and his wife, Gertrude. Set amidst the picturesque landscape of East Rounton in Yorkshire, this house was a testament to the harmonious blend of nature and artistry, reflecting the core principles of the Arts & Crafts movement. Sir Isaac Lowthian Bell, a prominent figure in the iron industry, and his wife Gertrude were passionate patrons of the Arts & Crafts movement. They sought to create a home that embodied the movement's ethos, which emphasized the importance of craftsmanship, functionality, and the connection between art and everyday life. Webb, a close friend of William Morris and a leading figure in the Arts & Crafts movement, was the ideal architect for the project. The design of Rounton Grange was influenced by the vernacular architecture of the region, with its timber-framed construction and red-roofed gables. The interior featured intricate woodwork, stained glass, and hand-woven textiles, all crafted by local artisans. The house was also designed with a strong connection to the outdoors, with ample windows and terraces that allowed the inhabitants to enjoy the surrounding countryside. Unfortunately, Rounton Grange was demolished in 1953, leaving behind only memories and this photograph as reminders of its former glory. The loss of this significant architectural masterpiece is deeply felt by those who appreciate the rich history of the Arts & Crafts movement and the role it played in shaping the aesthetic sensibilities of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
