Name/Title

1912/Hughes: Melvill and Emy's last house

Description

St Mary's, Hythe, Kent, was the last house of Melvill Hughes and his widowed sister Emy. After she died in 1915, Melvill canonised her as a saint, and had a long period of "religious mania", as described in Kathleen's memoirs. Emy's handwriting is on the back of the photograph, and so is Kathleen's.
