EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the idyllic charm of Tower Cottage in Winchelsea, East Sussex, once the beloved home of renowned English actress, Ellen Terry, from 1896 to 1906. Dating back to the 17th century, this quaint thatched-roof cottage with its charming tiled facade is a testament to the rich history of this picturesque coastal town. Located near Rye, the cottage sits nestled among a row of similarly rustic houses, each with their own unique character. The South Downs in the distance add to the serene beauty of the scene, while the blue expanse of the English Channel in the background adds a sense of tranquility and timelessness. Ellen Terry, a leading figure in the British theatre scene, sought refuge in this cottage after her retirement from the stage. The peaceful surroundings provided her with the perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. The cottage's rustic charm and proximity to the sea made it an ideal retreat for the actress, who was known for her love of the natural world. The photograph, taken in the 1920s, captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back in time to a simpler, more idyllic world. The image of Tower Cottage, with its charming tiled roof and quaint thatched exterior, remains a cherished reminder of Ellen Terry's connection to this beautiful corner of East Sussex.
