Immersive exhibition featuring the work of three young writers at locations throughout the House and garden.

I’ve Never Read Elizabeth Gaskell’ features work by three young writers Georgia Affonso, Princess Arinola Adegbite and Guruleen Kahlo, who completed a spring residency at the House.

The immersive exhibition flows throughout the House and includes Guruleen’s short stories, Georgia’s play available in audio format, and poems by Princess, all positioned in areas reflecting their inspiration and themes including at Elizabeth’s writing table over-looking the garden.

The three writers (all aged under 30) were invited to spend time immersing themselves in Elizabeth’s world and responding to her legacy in their own words.
