Eden Archive pack

The perfect paper trail of strange goings-on at Irkwell Manor.

The Eden Society Archive Pack brings together seven documents from the estate’s murky history, including a local newspaper, a rare books catalogue, and an invitation to the 1934 Summer Solstice celebrations.

Elsewhere, a letter from Virginia to Douglas Eden hints at older secrets, a police report investigates the disappearance of Henrietta Claw, and two rather different maps of the past emerge: Erwin Eden’s plan of the manor and Douglas’s sketch from the trenches of the First World War.

Piece together the history of the Eden family, one document at a time. Although some things are probably better left in the filing cabinet...
