Dartington Buildings and Elmhirst Heritage Centre Tour
Dartington Trust, Totnes, Devon, TQ9 6EL
Historian, author and popular speaker Rosemary Griggs will lead an hour and a half tour exploring the history of Dartington's buildings from the twelfth century through to the modern day.
We will finish with a tour of our new indoor visitor destination, the Elmhirst Heritage Centre, once the private residence of Dorothy and Leonard Elmhirst so you can get a sense of how the building looked in its 1960s heyday. The period-refurbished ground floor rooms are now home to Dartington’s core collection of Modern British and American paintings and ceramics, whilst the upstairs rooms play host to a series of changing temporary exhibitions, inspired by our wider art collection and archive.
