Scope and Content

Press cuttings, photographs and postcards relating to Lucy Boston and to The Manor, Hemingford Grey, Lucy Boston's home and the setting for her Green Knowe books. The file includes black and white photographs of The Manor, two of which are inscribed on the reverse 'with love from Lucy'; two Christmas cards from Lucy Boston, both featuring illustrations by Peter Boston, one dated 1954 and the other 1980; postcards from Diana Boston, c 1995-2001, all featuring pictures of The Manor; a publicity leaflet for The Manor, Hemingford Grey; various magazine and newspaper clippings featuring reviews of Lucy Boston's books and articles on The Manor; and several museum labels which appear to have been created by Ditchling Museum for an exhibition of Lucy Boston material.

Some of the items in this file have been previously numbered in pencil with museum object numbers. These object numbers were assigned by Ditchling Museum - see collection level description for further information.
