Cuckoo Hill. The book of Gorley by Haywood Sumner (Second hand)

A beautifully produced facsimile of Heywood Sumner’s original 1904–1909 handwritten and illustrated manuscript, Cuckoo Hill records the artist’s life after building his ideal home on the edge of the New Forest at Gorley. Sumner documents the landscape, wildlife, customs of the Commoners, and the process of restoring a tumbledown cottage, all in his distinctive hand with watercolours, maps, and sketches. The result is a charming blend of Arts‑and‑Crafts aesthetics and local history—an intimate portrait of early 20th‑century New Forest life and a treasured reference for anyone interested in Hampshire heritage, vernacular architecture, or the Arts and Crafts movement.
