The Museum  Talented artists, designers and craftspeople have worked in and around Chipping Campden and the north Cotswolds since the time of the Arts and Crafts movement in the early 20th century. The Museum celebrates their lives and their skill.

As well as producing items for sale Mary also runs silk printing workshops.

NEWSUnfortunately there have been no further developments from the police following the robbery on the night of 14 November. In the meantime we have been working with our insurance company's Loss Adjustor. A reward has been placed in the Antique Trade Gazette, all the major dealers have been contacted, and images of the objects circulated as far and wide as possible. In the meantime additional security is being installed, the damaged cases will be replaced and filled with new exhibits. We closed for three weeks following the robbery. But we re-opened on Saturday 3 December with a successful exhibition from the Worcestershire Guild of Designer Makers. This was a real turning point. We have been overwhelmed by the sympathy and generosity of our volunteers, local people and supporters further afield. We perhaps did not realise how much Court Barn means to people.
