The moon-gazing hare has been popping up in British art and folklore for centuries, quietly doing its own thing while everyone else rushes about. You’ll spot it carved into old church roof bosses, woven into medieval manuscripts, and later popping up in Arts and Crafts designs, often sitting upright with its head tilted back, staring thoughtfully at the moon. No one ever fully agreed on what it meant, which is probably part of the charm.

Hares were always seen as a bit magical. They’re nocturnal, fast, and seem to appear and disappear at will, so people linked them with the moon, mystery, and the changing seasons. Some stories suggest the hare was a symbol of rebirth and renewal, tied to spring and fertility; others see it as a quiet observer of time passing, patiently watching the moon wax and wane. In churches, the moon-gazing hare may have been a reminder to reflect, to pause, or to look beyond the everyday.

By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, artists in the Arts and Crafts movement fell in love with the image all over again. Designers inspired by medieval art and folklore brought the hare back into wallpapers, tiles, and illustrations, valuing its gentle strangeness and connection to the natural world. Today, the moon-gazing hare still feels oddly comforting – a little symbol of slowing down, looking up, and taking a moment to wonder, just as people have done for hundreds of years.
