Farrs – John & Jennie Makepeace

We had the privilege of visiting John and Jennie Makepeace at their historic townhouse in the centre of Beaminster, Dorset. We were welcomed with great warmth and generosity, and were given the rare opportunity to explore the interior of their remarkable home. John shared insights into his furniture design and recent commissions, while also introducing us to some of the modern paintings, sculptures, and artworks in their collection—an absolutely fascinating discussion.

Jennie then guided us on a wonderful walk through their beautiful gardens, after which we were treated to a delicious cream tea. It was a thoroughly memorable and inspiring visit.
