>The conference will be held in High Cross House, which is now the
>archive centre for the Dartington Hall Trust. There could be no more
>appropriate setting, for the house was built in modernist style as part
>of the reconstruction of the Dartington Hall estate, for the use of the
>first headmaster of Dartington Hall School. It was designed, down to the
>furniture,  by the Swiss-American architect William Lescaze, and
>completed in 1932. The exterior is of concrete plastered white, '...as
>appropriate to Devon', wrote Pevsner in the South Devon volume of his
>Buildings of England  series, 'as [it] would be to California or the
>river Hudson, a symbol of enlightened internationalism...'.  Much of the
>original furniture is still in place, and there will be opportunities to
>examine the archive and the pottery and picture collections in the
>house.
>
>Meals and accomodation (which is not en suite) will be in the White
>House, part of the Foxholes Centre, which was the former Dartington Hall
>School, designed by Oswald Milne, a pupil of Lutyens.

>Further information about these buildings (not about the conference) may

>The Interwar Rural History Research Group is an informal
>inter-disciplinary (art history, literature, drama, history, and
>geography so far) group of scholars with no formal membership or fixed
>abode. We first met in December 2000, and aim to arrange three
>peripatetic meetings each year.  The two meetings held so far (at
>Loughborough and Exeter) have been notable for the fruitful interaction
>of historians with drama specialists, geographers with art historians,
>and so on, and we hope to maintain and extend this at the Dartington
>conference. We have an email discussion list which can be joined via
