One of the most charming corners of Appleby lies hidden behind the old houses in Boroughgate. Enter the doorway beneath the sign of the Courtyard Gallery and walk along a passage, and find yourself in a small and unexpected courtyard. Vines and shrubs soften the ancient 300 year old stonework, and overhang the outdoor tables and chairs. While through a wrought-iron gate and along another passageway a secluded secret garden can be glimpsed.
The gallery itself is housed on the upper floor of the centuries old granary, which in it's time has served as a dame school and an artist's studio. This is approached from the outside by a flight of wooden stairs. The character of the building, with it's beams and deepset windows, has been preserved and now affords an ideal setting for a distinguishing collection of original paintings, etchings, pottery, glass, jewellery, turned wood and a large selection of some of the finest hand-made cards in the area.
One end of the Gallery is furnished with tables and chairs where fresh coffee or a choice of blends of tea and homemade organic cakes and biscuits can be enjoyed.
Whether you buy or browse, for those who delight in quaint and tasteful sorroundings a visit to Courtyard Gallery will remain among your happy memories of a wonderful day out.
