References the landscape of Essex, wayside and pilgrimage chapels, and follies... in a contemporary way. And with lots of art.
It's beautiful.
The house, near Wrabness on the North Essex coast, is both an artwork in itself and the setting for a number of works by Grayson Perry exploring the special character and unique qualities of Essex. The building has been designed to evoke a tradition of wayside and pilgrimage chapels. It belongs to a history of follies, whilst also being deeply of its own time.
