A model Cotswold village53.JPG
A model Cotswold village, made by Mr Sidney Smith, the owner of one of the Witney blanket factories, who had Merryfield House built for him and his family in 1927, designed by Oliver Hill. He, in turn, made the model village for his children, based on 13 of his favourite houses and farm buildings in the area, including Arlington Row. Details and photographs are housed in the Witney & District Museum. Smith constructed and painted the models which reflect the true Cotswolds in the 1920s. David Pickup Antiques has priced the village at £7,500. at The Cotswold Art & Antiques Dealers’ Association Fair,Compton Verney Art Gallery and Park,Compton Verney
