Clouds House, is a Grade II* listed building at East Knoyle in Wiltshire. Designed by Arts and Crafts architect Philip Webb for Percy Wyndham and his wife Madeline, it was first completed in 1886, but an 1889 fire necessitated its rebuilding, finished in 1891. Clouds was Webb's grandest design and it was frequented by artists such as Edward Burne-Jones. This book not only shows the significance of Clouds within the history of architecture, art, and design, but also uses the house to trace the changing relationship between patrons and artists and the decline of the political and economic power of the landed classes at the beginning of the 20th century.
