One of the many lovely modernist houses tucked away on the ancient #Dartington estate. Built in 1935 by William Lescaze for Kurt Jooss, dancer and choreographer, when the hall was HQ for the Ballets Jooss. #modernist #architecture #design #devon

Came across this carefully framed piece of 17th century stained glass in Lanhydrock's long gallery. A Puritan and the devil tussling over - Justice? Possibly rescued from the original long gallery or perhaps installed by the family in the 19th century. #glass #Cornwall #Lanhydrock
