The House
ON FIRST THURSDAYS TOWER HAMLETS RESIDENTS & UNDER 30s CAN VISIT FOR £8
‘I will get the 21st century out of your eyes and ears. With every age we visit, we will be governed by a spirit.’
Dennis Severs came to Spitalfields in 1979 and bought a derelict house saved by the Spitalfields Trust. He reconfigured it to tell the story of an imaginary Huguenot family who had lived there since it was built in 1724.
Take a walk through time in Dennis Severs’ House in which the material things he collected become a cast of characters, the House destined to be their stage.
‘Once I get you in there, I am going to bombard all of your senses until I create in your mind a picture or an impression – like a memory – which you can take away within you.’
