Ditchling Museum

This Lottery-funded project will enable the museum’s collection of work by Eric Gill, David Jones and others to be meaningfully displayed. The project will include a new entrance & shop for the museum on Ditchling’s village green by converting a listed cart-lodge. The principal new building on the site is to be constructed using engineered timber, and clad with black zinc. It will house a collection store, and a new introductory gallery with a ‘Wunderkammer’ containing the museum’s founding objects. The culmination of our designs for the museum will be a gallery to exhibit the Stanhope Press. Used to disseminate the ideas of Gill & his followers, this still-working printing press will be placed at the end of a chapel-like space, surrounded by displays of works-on-paper.
