I spent today with my friend Penny. We ended up at that unique Cambridge cultural institution Kettle's Yard. The house there is a remarkable ensemble of art, sculpture and interior space. The guiding spirit was Jim Ede who, with his wife Helen, owned the house between 1956 and 1973 when the couple moved to Edinburgh. In 1966 it was bequeathed to the University of Cambridge. The first part of the house was created from a terrace of four cottages with the help of the Neo-Georgian architect Winton Aldridge; the less domestic extension was created in 1970 by Leslie Martin.
This my third post on an interior I find deeply enchanting.
