| Admin/Biog History | Stamp first met Severs in the late 1960s, when Severs was running horse-drawn carriage tours around London.
In 1979 Severs bought 18 Folgate Street, Spitalfields. The house had been saved from demolition by the Spitalfields Trust, as part of there campaign, they squatted in the building. Severs refurbished the house in a historic style, in a reimagination of how a Huguenot family would have lived. After Severs' death, the house was bought and maintained by The Spitalfields Trust and turned into a museum the 'Dennis Severs' House'.
Stamp wrote an Severs' obituary in the Guardian, 10 Jan 2000. |
