Career Highlights[edit]

Norman Shaw is best known for his Queen Anne style houses in the iconic London suburb Bedford Park. However, his career spanned a variety of architectural styles including Arts & Crafts and Tudor Revival. His early Tudor Revival work made one of its first appearances in Britain at Cragside, a hilltop mansion of eclectic architectural styles that incorporated certain Tudor features. However, at approximately the same time, Shaw also designed Leyswood near Withyham in Sussex, which was a large mansion around a courtyard, complete with mock battlements, towers, half-timbered upper facades and tall chimneys — all features quite readily associated with Tudor architecture; in Shaw's hands, this less fantastical style achieved immediate maturity.
