The Dysart Petersham
The Dysart Petersham is a beautiful and characterful building, drawing on principles of handcrafting from the age of the Arts and Crafts Movement, the beauty of which is matched appropriately by its open views over Richmond Park and by its village, woodland and meadow setting.
The Dysart has a long history as a public house and Inn, for some 300 years, starting life as a simple Georgian farmhouse. The Georgian buildings were knocked down at the turn of the nineteenth/twentieth centuries and replaced by this grand statement, Arts and Crafts building, designed by a Suffolk-based Arts and Crafts architect, whose initials are still to be found carved in the ornamental oak carvings of one of the great gable windows on the South face.
It reopened in about 1904 and has remained in continuous use, welcoming the public for refreshments for drinks and food, for afternoon and evening dances and hosting one of the first gathering places for American servicemen and women, billeted in Richmond Park in WWII, introducing locally American cocktails. It was popular for a long period for French cooking by the French couple who ran it. In the mid-nineties, it became a destination for drinks and food and given a dark, nightclub’ feel.
After a period, in 2007 it was refurbished and, as much as possible after years of intervention inside in particular, it had its original interior features painstakingly restored, creating once more an airy place filled with light and sun, through the huge original windows and revealing once more the craftsmanship, quality and beauty of the woods used in the building.
The bar was taken back to its original, glowing oak, taken from decommissioned, captured warships from the period of the Napoleonic wars.
Tradition, respect for the building and its natural welcome are important to us.
