OverviewHow would you feel if, in 1902, you had to leave the familiar East End of London to make a new life in the Cotswolds? In the 1880s the idealistic architect C.R.Ashbee founded The Guild of Handicraft, drawn from impoverished artisans working in Whitechapel's sweatshops. In 1902 he uprooted many of his craftsmen and their families from their East End homes to the Cotswold town, Chipping Campden. The troubled story of the gifted young Guild silversmith, Johnnie and his talented pianist wife, Rose is interwoven with the rise and fall of the Guild and the unconventional lives of Ashbee and his 'comrade-wife' Janet.
