A Pioneering History
The house was built for John Nettlefold, a pioneer of early housing reform in Birmingham at a time when the city had a serious lack of decent homes for working people. John and his wife Margaret were from prestigious local families who had made their living in industry. Choosing their house to be designed in the Arts and Crafts style reflected their modern outlook.

Stand and Stare
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?
(William Henry Davies)
In their unique responses to these lines, artists Kate Gallimore, Juliet May and Richard Coyle invite us to see Winterbourne afresh through their eyes in an ambitious collaborative exhibition.
