Working with words
Guide books and leaflets

N&E produce bespoke guides for cultural attractions. We provide a complete service from concept, research, text, editing, design, illustration and print.

N&E was recently commissioned to devise new guide concepts for Coughton Court, a National Trust property. The result was the story of the Catholic Throckmorton family who struggled to keep their faith in times of persecution 400 years ago –but told in a lively magazine format. A first for the National Trust! We also produced a guide for children, making the house much more attractive for families.

Recent select projects:
  • Hill Close Gardens, Warwick
  • Coughton Court, Warwickshire
