Discover the Georgian and Regency Hampstead that Constable walked, painted and wrote about

From 1819 , the artist John Constable started renting houses in Hampstead and, in 1827, made it his permanent home. Join Marilyn Greene, art historian and local historian to discover the picturesque Georgian and Regency Hampstead that Constable would have been familiar with; why he moved to Hampstead, where he lived; the houses and landscapes he painted as well as his family tomb. This talk is illustrated with pictures and frank quotes from letters to his friends about his art and feelings for Hampstead as well as some reflections by his biographer, C.R. Leslie.

Walk requires walking both up and down hill and depending on the weather, sections of Hampstead Heath.
