From wikipedia

Dartington Hall, near Totnes, Devon, England, is a medieval hall built between 1388 and 1400 for John Holand, Earl of Huntingdon, half-brother to Richard II. After John was beheaded, the Crown owned the estate until it was acquired in 1559 by Sir Arthur Champernowne, Vice-Admiral of the West under Elizabeth I. The Champernowne family lived in the Hall for 366 years.

The hall was mostly derelict by the time it was bought by Leonard and Dorothy Elmhirst in 1925. They renovated the buildings, replacing the magnificent hammerbeam roof on the Great hall, and set about their goal of introducing progressive education and rural reconstruction into what was then a depressed agricultural economy. In 1935 the Dartington Hall Trust, a registered charity, was set up and it has run the estate since.

The estate has been the site of many events, conferences, and social experiments, certainly since the Elmhirsts renovated the place with this vision in mind and hosted a variety of social and artistic groups to work there; however there is a growing controversy over the decision by the Dartington College of Arts to merge with and relocate to Falmouth College.
