Medieval Timber Framed House Vernacular
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting Artists Cottage, nestled in the idyllic countryside of Trotshill, Warndon, Worcester, Worcestershire. Standing tall and proud, this timber-framed house has a rich history that was lovingly restored by the talented artist Florence Elsie Matley Moore (1900-1985), later known as Mabs Cottage. The image captures an exterior view from the northwest, allowing us to appreciate the cottage's picturesque charm after its restoration. A Country Life article penned by Moore herself on February 8th, 1941 reveals that back in November 1938, Artists Cottage was "certainly in a very bad state". However, through her dedication and artistic vision, she managed to breathe new life into this medieval gem. Dating back to the 15th century and boasting exquisite vernacular architecture, Artists Cottage stands as a testament to both historical significance and architectural beauty. Its restoration journey was completed by 1940 under Moore's skilled hands. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph captured by Marjory L Wight for Historic England, we can't help but be transported back in time. The tranquil surroundings perfectly complement the cottage's rustic allure while inviting us to imagine all of the creativity that once flourished within its walls. This image serves as a reminder of how artistry can not only revive physical structures but also preserve our cultural heritage for generations to come.
