The exhibition of original sketches and watercolours painted by Beatrix Potter for her children’s stories changes annually. The 17th-century building, the model for Tabitha Twitchit’s shop, was once the office of Beatrix’s husband, William Heelis. The interior remains substantially unaltered since his day, giving an interesting insight into an Edwardian law office.
