The Story of Emily
The story of Emily is an immersive exhibition, set within the restored grounds of The Rectory, the family home of Emily Hobhouse. It aims to tell the treasured tales of Emily Hobhouses life, her humanitarian work, as well as offering an overview of the Anglo-Boer War. It also invites the visitor to reflect on the universal complexities of any war and its effects on society and civilisation.
At The Story of Emily, we believe that fine dining is about more than just exquisite food its about creating an experience where guests feel truly at home. Our restaurant is built on warmth, kindness and a deep sense of belonging. We are looking for individuals who share our passion for hospitality, have a strong work ethic, and genuinely care about making every guest feel welcome.
