'Most essentially English,' is how Guy Dawber (1861-1938) was remembered after his death by The Architect and Building News. His country houses could be found in many corners of England in Surrey, Woodford, Cheshire and Norfolk (where he was born). But most were in the Cotswolds, where he spent early years as an architect sketching the soft stoned buildings that grew out of that landscape before other arts and crafts pioneers such as William Morris discovered the area. On the southern edge of the Cotswolds, near Bradford-on-Avon, sits one of the houses that repaid all that study. Conkwell Grange claims history with a 17th century style, although it was completed in 1907. It sits above a steep wooded valley which tumbles towards the River Avon, to the east facing the plains of Wiltshire.
