Bronte Porcelain
"We have great
pleasure in introducing Bronte to you - a group of highly skilled artists
and technicians, who together produce exquisite and elaborate porcelain sculptures.Many
of the sculptures are authentic studies of flora and fauna artistically interpreted
by Bronte design staff.Each sculpture demonstrates an optimum degree of ceramic
excellence, considering the technical demands relating to the piece being
subjected to an initial firing temperature of almost 1300 degrees Centigrade.It
is a combination of this artistic and technical expertise that make Bronte
editions, both 'limited' and 'open', so collectable.Creating beautiful works
of art is one of the most rewarding of occupations and Bronte appreciate
this, and therefore produce models of infinite beauty and quality which we
hope will continue to give pleasure to a great number of people around the
world." Henry Sandon- Director

Chateau Impney
Chateau Impney
is an imposing 19th century house near Droitwich, England. It was built for
industrialist John Corbett in the style of a Louis XIII French chateau. Corbett's
wife, Hannah Eliza O'Meara, was of mixed French/ Irish descent and he built
the house in the 1870s, as a cost of GBP 247,000, to satsify her nostaglia
for Paris. Sadly, she never lived in the house, preferring one of Corbett's
properties in Towyn, North Wales. In 1945, the house was purchased by Ralph
Edwards who restored it and developed it as a hotel.The Chateau Impney, standing
majestically in 150 acres of surrounding parkland, specialises in residential
conferences, conventions, banquets and exhibitions; combining the style and
grandeur of the Chateau itself with modern purpose built conference facilities.

Croome Park
Croome Park is
“Capabilitiy” Brown’s first complete landscape design. The gardens consist
of paths winding through shrubberies, and past charming garden buildings.
Brown created a lake, complete with grotto, and an artificial river. The
wider parkland contains stunning follies – designed to ‘catch your eyes’
from the gardens. For 200 years Croome was celebrated for its beauty but
since the 1950s, nature reclaimed much of Croome. The National Trust’s most
ambitious garden restoration project to date gives visitors an opportunity
to travel back 250yrs to see how England’s greatest gardener created this
magical landscape from marshland. 2006 is the 10th anniversary of restoration
and a full programme of events is in place.

Droitwich
Droitwich literally
means ‘Place of Salt’ and gets its name from the time that the Romans occupied
the area and exported the then very valuable commodity. The Victorians took
advantage of the natural brine, its strength second only to the Dead Sea,
and developed the town into a fashionable spa. Nowadays visitors can still
enjoy the therapeutic benefits of the water in the baths that opened in 1985.
The attractive town centre is dotted with medieval churches and half-timbered
buildings. Nearby is Webbs of Wychbold, the Midlands largest garden centre,
with something to suit all green fingers. The Jinney Ring Craft Centre at
Hanbury is an award winning craft centre set in beautiful old timbered barns
and has 12 individual craft studios; where better to pick up a piece of locally

Dudley
Dudley, part of
the West Midlands conurbation, is located south of Wolverhampton and is the
largest town in the Black Country. The town centre is traditionally part
of an exclave of Worcestershire entirely surrounded by Staffordshire - which
has determined the fact that, in ecclesiatical terms, it has remained part
of the diocese of Worcester.Dudley has a history dating back to medieval times;
a castle has stood in Dudley since the 8th century, the present castle dates
from the 13th century, and provided the centre around which the town grew.
(see Dudley Castle) The town industrialised rapidly in the 18th and 19th
centuries, and its population grew dramatically. Due to its heavy and highly
polluting industries it became a central part of the Black Country. The main
industries in Dudley included coal and limestone mining. Other industries
included iron, steel, engineering, metallurgy, glass cutting, textiles and
leatherworking. Most of these industries have declined in recent decades.

Cottage is set in the heart of the countryside Elgar loved and took great
inspiration from.With the growth of worldwide interest in Elgar’s music, and

The territory of the Hwicce roughly corresponded to the Roman civitas of
the Dobunni. The area appears to have remained largely British in the first
century or so after Britannia left the Roman Empire, but pagan burials and
place-names in its north-eastern sector suggest an inflow of Angles,
who may have exacted tribute from British rulers.
