Paying homage to England’s rich legacy, the exclusive collection embraces timeless designs, bespoke hand-painted prints, and luxurious fabrics. With a seamless blend of traditional flair and contemporary living, the collection tells a story of meticulous design and authentic craftsmanship. Discover the collection today through Barker and Stonehouse, where their 75 years of experience puts you in safe hands.

The range is made up of three collections which have each been inspired by one of our iconic sites: Belsay Hall, Castle & Gardens, Down House, and Osborne. Each collection tells a story of the rich heritage of these sites and the famous figures who once lived there.

By shopping these exclusive collections you're further supporting the valuable work of English Heritage in caring for hundreds of sites and millions of artefacts from England's history.

Clover: Inspired by meadows at our sites.

Clover collection, inspired by England's wildflower meadows

Meadows are one of the rarest habitats in the UK. English Heritage properties have some of the last remaining meadows, which are vital for biodiversity. On some sites there has been a long history of grasslands and meadows, including the meadows at Down House and Osborne.

The exclusive Meadow design is inspired by illustrations of wildflowers native to our English meadows, offered two colours to coordinate with our plain fabrics.

Quarry collection, inspired by Belsay Hall

Boasting sweeping views over gentle rolling countryside, Belsay Hall, Castle & Gardens, is set within the evocative landscape of Northumberland’s ‘border country’. It's comprised of three distinct, related elements: a medieval castle, a 19 Century Greek Revival mansion, and outstanding gardens featuring rhododendrons, formal areas and the picturesque ravines of the Quarry Garden. The hand painted textile design celebrates the stunning rhododendrons of the Quarry Garden at Belsay.

With a unique place in the history of science and evolution, Down House was Charles Darwin’s family home – and today it is a site of international significance. Drawing inspiration from the interiors of this country home, the Finch collection features traditional scroll arms and botanical references, hand-drawn finches and a selection of brushed cotton and distressed chenille. Discover a considered range that celebrates Darwin’s great expedition to the Galapagos islands.

Inspired by our sites

  • Belsay Hall, Castle & Gardens

    Belsay is beautiful and bursting with things to see and do.

  • Osborne

    Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s beloved seaside palace on the Isle of Wight.

  • Down House

    The great scientist’s country-house home and ‘outdoor laboratory’

It was a true pleasure to work with the English Heritage team to develop our furniture range. So many licensing collaborations feel dishonest for the consumer, we were insistent that our range would take genuine inspiration from English Heritage’s fantastic sites, and the EH team were excellent at working with us to do just that, whilst giving us the creative freedom needed on our product to do what we do best. It’s resulted in both a commercial and authentic product offering.
