Footnote
Note: During the First World War Stanley Webb Davies built huts in France for refugees, but after the War in 1920 he worked in the Romney Green’s workshop. In 1923 he established his own workshop in Windermere in the Lake District where he worked until his retirement in 1961. He celebrated the physical demands of hand-made furniture believing that it benefitted the whole person and largely undertook work for commissions. His archive is held by the Abbot Hall Art Gallery in Kendal.
