What is recorded here
This white commemorative plaque records: "We've bought a house in Lewes, on the spur of the moment. It's the butt end of an old windmill, so that all the rooms are either completely round or semi circular. Leonard and Virginia Woolf, Bloomsbury writers, purchased this house in June 1919 Recorded plaque organisation: Lewes Town Council.
Virginia Woolf and her husband Leonard Woolf were prominent figures in the Bloomsbury Group; Virginia was a pioneering modernist writer known for works like "Mrs Dalloway" and "To the Lighthouse," while Leonard was a political theorist, publisher, and co-founder of the Hogarth Press.
