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.
