Exploring Edgar Wood’s Legacy: an Arts & Crafts walk

The walk starts at Edgar Wood’s Briarcourt (1894-6, grade II listed – exterior view only), his first major work in Huddersfield. Other houses passed on the walk, dating from the 1910s to the 1930s, include several by Wood’s precocious local pupil Dennis Bamford and others by Joseph Berry, Willie Cooper, Norman Culley, John Lunn, Oswald White and Manchester-based Salomons & Steinthal. The walk will be led by David Griffiths, author of 'Huddersfield's Art & Crafts Houses' (2025).
