'Bernie' was an inspiring teacher, who for some 30 years taught pottery at Dartington Hall School, having come to Dartington in 1932 with Bernard Leach.

Bernard Leach (1887-1979) is one of the most highly regarded international potters of the 20th century and is remembered for the important part he played in the merging of eastern and western craft traditions.

William Clayton (Bill) Hunter was a photographer and teacher at Foxhole from 1932-41. He established the Dartington Hall Film Unit and created a wide range of classroom documentary films with his pupils at Dartington.

Brian and Jerry Millman were two of Dartington's most loyal, steadfast and versatile employees, working here for nearly half a century.

In 1925, Nielsen introduced into Devon farming practices which were considered to be not only progressive but also entirely positive. Today, we shake our heads at some of the actions he took.

The period at Dartington was a formative one for artist Cecil Collins (MBE), influencing most of his major works.
