Winterbourne House
| Take a step back in time to discover what life was like during Edwardian days. On the ground floor, see how the decor would have appeared when the Nettlefolds occupied the house over 100 years ago, with the Study and Drawing Room boasting beautiful Arts & Crafts furniture and antiques. An Exhibition Room highlights the importance of Winterbourne within the community via interactive exhibits which tell the stories of the house and its occupants through the people who lived and worked here over the years. In the Study, learn more about John Nettlefold’s work in the family firm GKN - the largest screw, nut and bolt manufacturer in the world – together with his pioneering work as the chair of the first housing committee in Birmingham. Hands-on exhibits in the Drawing Room reveal who influenced Margaret Nettlefold to design Winterbourne’s Grade II listed garden, with its sandstone rock garden, unusual nut walk and beautiful colour-themed borders. Edwardian characters also bring the house to life each month, giving a taste of how the families of Winterbourne lived their lives. |
