1 Pembroke Cottage, Edwardes Square, London

Laurence and Clemence Housman's shared home at 1 Pembroke Cottage Edwardes Square, just off Kensington High Street, had previously been the residence of artist William Rothenstein, who was also a member of the little magazine community. Here the Housman siblings worked on a number of collaborative projects, including both creating wood-engraved illustrations cut by Clemence and designed by Laurence, and contributing to the contemporary  movement for women's siuffrage. In 1909, the studio in their back garden became the home of the Suffrage Atelier, an artists' cooperative dedicated to making visual propganda for the feminist cause and suppportintg women artworkers. In 1911, their home became a site of Census Resistance, sheltering suffragists who refused to be counted until they had the vote.
