A second visit for me to this lovely Arts and Crafts house with its artworks and the fantastic collection of Tiffany glass wares. We were lucky enough to be there when the curator was showing a group around and explaining the different techniques used as well as the history and the characters. The cafe is very pleasant and has table service and a good range of food and drinks available. There is no charge for entry but donations are welcome.
