Photographs weren't allowed inside the house so I can't bring you images of the figures meticulously carved out of bones from rations received by German POWs, antique toys, or vast collection of bicycles. After inheriting a small fortune Mr. Wade amassed a collection of craftmanship. He travelled far, but mostly near, to find interesting and beautiful things made with care and by hand.
His manor is a museum almost, but not quite, cluttered with uniquities where nothing is labeled. Rather, each object must be sought out and discovered. We learned from a guide that he and his friends, who included luminaries like Virginia Woolf and Graham Greene, would come to stay and stage plays wearing Wade's seemingly limitless costume collection.
