PIPER'S FIELD (NO. 67)
Plans for Piper’s Field were drawn up in 1908 by R. Weir Schultz. Robert Weir Schultz was a Scottish Arts and Crafts architect, artist, landscape designer and furniture designer. The builder was Musselwhite & Sapp, notable Basingstoke based builders of large Arts and Crafts mansions. The plans (HRO ref. W/c11/2/1168) were approved by Winchester City Planning Dept on 14th May 1908. The plans for the house show a drawing room, dining room, kitchen, library, hall, W.C., pantry, wine storage, scullery, larder, four main bedrooms, three servants’ bedrooms, and bathroom.
​
The land on which Piper’s Field is built is shown on the 1840 tithe map as being farmed by John Piper, which undoubtedly resulted in the name of the house.
