Dennis Severs, Jim Howett, and Marianna Kennedy — loaded with talent and style and masters of their media. I also loved The Marvels, based on the Severs house, and have read that repeatedly. All of these people followed their stars to London, as did the GA, and found each other. Hope lives in their achievements.

I follow this blog every day, sometimes reading the entry for the next day late the night before.

Thank you for sharing this GA.

I was lucky enough to meet Dennis at his house, shortly before his untimely demise. I always wondered who it was that helped him fulfil his dream (and mine — although only he was lucky enough to manage it) to recreate in spirit an “original” Spitalfields home. Have since met the members of the Spitalfields Trust — all wonderful and generous people.

It would be great if you could run another feature, showing some of the early photos from Jim’s projects?

Hats off to him for helping all of us to see history come alive.

Ha!

I have, unknowingly until now, seen much of Jim’s work in Spitalfields. A real craftsman. Thanks for his story, GA.
