Manor house renovated as home and art gallery
A Grade II* listed manor house built in the 17th Century has been restored and brought back into use as a family home.
Burderop House in Chiseldon, Wiltshire, which was redesigned into its current neo-classical square design in the 18th Century, had been used as offices for several decades.
Property developer, Arthur Dallimer, has now converted the house into a home with a downstairs space turned into an arts venue.”I’m very happy to have been able to have brought back one of the town’s most beautiful buildings into its original use like this,” he said.
Children and young people will have an opportunity to see their creations displayed digitally in an exhibition at one of Scotland’s national galleries.
The 2025 Worcester 100 Open Art Exhibition will be held at the Artery Gallery, Croft Walk, from Saturday 8 to Saturday, March 15.
The free event will showcase a range of artistic styles, including paintings, prints, photography, and sculptures.
Opening times will vary throughout the week.

Three in five small UK museums and galleries fear closure amid declining revenue, new research suggests
Three in five small museums and galleries in the UK fear closure amid declining revenue and footfall, research published this week suggests. The survey of 40 small, independent attractions—those with fewer than 100,000 annual visitors—also found that four in five (78%) reported the current period as the most challenging the sector has faced, while over half (58%) said overall income has not returned to its pre-Covid levels.
The research, conducted by the cloud platform GoDaddy in partnership with the charity Kids in Museums, surveyed small museums as well as galleries, historic buildings and heritage sites. Alison Bowyers, the executive director of Kids in Museums, tells The Art Newspaper that UK museums are suffering more than their counterparts in mainland Europe.
