78 Derngate Museum, Northampton

About this project

78 Derngate is a Grade II* listed Georgian house in the Cultural Quarter of Northampton, originally built in 1815.

Its interior was extensively remodelled in the early 1900’s by the architect and one of Britain’s most influential and celebrated designers, Charles Rennie Mackintosh.  Commissioned for businessman Wenman Joseph Bassett-Lowke as his first marital home, Mackintosh’s designs for the house are considered to be one of the first examples of the Art Deco style to be seen in Britain.

78 Derngate is the only house in England designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and is now a multi award-winning visitor attraction, having been meticulously restored and opened to the public.  It is the only place in the world where Mackintosh’s mature architectural and interior style can be seen in their original setting.

Haddonstone was commissioned to manufacture and supply a broad range of landscaping cast stonework as part of a major extension project at 78 Derngate.

This included:

The main part of the project, which was part-funded by the government, centres on the renovation to the atrium and the creation of a new ‘learning garden’, tearoom and improved disabled access.

The project is due to complete in the summer 2023.
