26 Aug Discover Hammersmith’s rich artistic heritage on free Guided Walk
Join us for September’s free guided walk to find out about the relationship between two of Hammersmith’s Victorian artists, including their boisterous breakfasting habits.
In 1867 an established but relatively unknown Victorian artist, Edward ‘Ned’ Jones and his wife bought the Grange, an eighteenth century house and garden in North End Road. This became the main home and studio for the rest of Edward Burne-Jones’ life, and during the 1870s his fellow artist William Morris would walk over on Sunday mornings from Kelmscott House in Lower Mall for boisterous bacon breakfasts.
To find out more about this Sunday ritual, join our Blue Badge Guide on Saturday, September 5 outside West Kensington tube at 11am for a free hour-long walk.
After finding out about Hammersmith’s rich historical heritage, all walkers will be taken to The Dartmouth Castle, in Glenthorne Road for complimentary teas & coffees.
