When Eleanor and Edsel Ford set out to design their family home, they found inspiration in the picturesque Cotswolds region of England. Known for its rolling hills, stone cottages, and timeless charm, the Cotswolds provided a perfect model for the tranquil, nature-infused design of Ford House. As much as the Fords embraced this English aesthetic, Halloween traditions in the Cotswolds offer a glimpse into the region’s rich heritage, with celebrations that are steeped in history and simplicity.
