Charleston held a full weekend of Centenary celebrations Oct. 14-16 and is still booking special 80-minute Centenary Tours through Nov. 5. The tour begins in the rarely seen House Kitchen and journeys through 10 rooms focusing on the early years at Charleston, according to the National Trust property’s website.
Here are some #Charleston100 tweets shared by Bloomsbury in the country, the home of Vanessa Bell, Clive Bell, Duncan Grant and Bunny Garnett.
