Amazing, how did I not know about him, yet at the same time it’s hard to believe he’s real!

So interesting, to see these folk, balancing on the perilous border between historic and twee.
Still, I am envious, my (current) house was built in 1970!

What a wonderful portrait, snd I can’t get out of my head that charred wood from the Great Fire survived to be found in the modern day!

Thank you for featuring the man behind so much spellbinding works of art. I didn’t have a clue what he looked liked or the significance of his work throughout Spitalfields. Such an interesting read , such an interesting man.

This was a pleasure to read. Thank you! Imagine, people who can’t appreciate new bespoke furnishings in antique styles. Terrible.
