History of The MacNaughton-Howe Festival

In 1955 Mrs D A MacNaughton from Southampton was working towards supporting cultural activities in Ventnor as she was passionate about keeping the Arts and Crafts alive in the town. Mrs MacNaughton was the daughter of Mr Alfred Scott, and one of 8 children. Alfred came to Ventnor in 1870 and took over the Ironmongers shop where Hurst is now. Members of his family carried it on until the 1960s.
