Primary

1. To re-interpret and re-present Lamb House to the public, including all floors of the house, the garden and outbuildings, to take place over the next 3 years with a minimum additional 2 rooms opened in the first year . 2. To understand Lamb house and its development and significance enabling us to make decisions about future use and presentation.

Secondary

 To inform public programming themes (next 5 years to be sketched out by completion of the project)

 To identify and create partnerships that will help us interpret Lamb in the future

 To inform the acquisitions and disposals policy for Lamb House

 To enhance the catalogue information and external interpretation of Lamb’s collections

 To inform any briefs to design and creative agencies

Creative visioning workshops for the property have taken place see Lamb House Re-written Examples of small case studies see Matthew Trigwell’s (VEC) work here

Other examples referenced in the course of visioning that deserve a visit include: William Morris Gallery and Roald Dahl Museum.

Leon Edel notes ‘There was some part of it [the library] in every room of Lamb House. It seemed crammed with them when I walked from room to room, and there were even a number of light novels that filled the shelves in the servant’s quarters where Henry James put a lot of popular literature sent to him but which didn’t interest him. I felt as I browsed in the various rooms as if I had walked into the Edwardian period and the Georgian past of the house. I think there were even a few books in the dining room, and in what was called the King’s Room, the small upstairs bedroom in which George I had slept…The Green Room…had reference works and certain books he particularly liked, I would judge, including his HawThornes. ‘ Garden: Actions: Tell Harry as an intimate instance that by a  Search for and compile chronologically images masterly inspiration I have at one bold stroke swept and references to garden development The early history and potential archaeology of the away all the complications in the quarter on which garden should come out of the HBA.

Tenants and owners:  How did the Lamb’s family house function? (HBA)  Changes made by tenants and owners (HBA)

 What was the Lamb’s relationship with the community like? Why did James Lamb build the house here and what does it say about him? (partially HBA)

 What sources for the Royal visit exist and do they confirm the room in which he slept?

 Where is the silver bowl christening gift from King George now?

 The wine trade and politics in Rye.

 Why are the tenants and owners of Lamb House relevant today? What is their legacy?
