Kitchen of the Hibberd doll’s house: This is a house which was made in the early 1800s, probably by a carpenter. It was bought by Mrs Winifred Alice Hibberd from a shop in St. John’s Wood High Street, London in 1965 for £60. It had belonged to a family (for whom it was originally made) living in a house in one of the Regents Park Terraces. Only two elderly sisters were left, and they had sold the house as they were moving to a smaller home where there would be no room for it. Mrs Hibberd repaired and furnished the house herself between 1965 and 1979, keeping a record of where the items had come from and all the work done. The furnishings came from many different sources including America, Spain, France and Scotland as well as craft and antique fairs and London shops. Mrs Hibberd also typed a guide to the house.
