Comments on: At Anna Maria Garthwaite’s House https://spitalfieldslife.com/2025/09/05/at-anna-maria-garthwaites-house-i/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 08 Sep 2025 22:15:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Jo N https://spitalfieldslife.com/2025/09/05/at-anna-maria-garthwaites-house-i/#comment-1795243 Mon, 08 Sep 2025 22:15:39 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=204256#comment-1795243 Another beautiful Spitalfields house – as mentioned before, I’d love to see those you’ve featured over the years collected in a book. Or a special issue of World of Interiors!

I wrote this piece about Garthwaite and her work back in 2020: https://professorhedgehogsjournal.uk/2020/11/04/anna-maria-garthwaite/

But this one doesn’t appear to be? Is that a stove in the 11th photo?
I have a particular interest because my distant family lived at 1 Wentworth Street. While visiting from the US, I was told “my” building was likely French Huguenot in design….
Thank you for these photos! I could eat them up!

I am always intrigued about the gardens (if they have them) at the back of these houses.

How I would like to visit this one and any others.

The deep red of the dining room is stunning and I could easily sit at the lovely kitchen table reading and drinking tea.

I can imagine the visitors, clients, deliveries & all sorts of daily comings & goings happening in the heart of busy Spitalfields..

I can feel the quietness through the photographs, imagine the creaks upon the stairs and to view the church as she would have seen it! Topped off with the most resplendent cat.
Thank you for starting my day with such beauty.
Sue

The rooms seem small rather than cosy.
