The Eastern Daily Press has reported that the five-bedroomed house, formerly occupied by photographer Olive Edis in Sheringham, is up for sale with a guide price of £550,000. After marrying her husband, Edwin Henry Galsworthy in 1928, the couple moved into their new home on South Street. Edis had an extension built to copy her earlier studio in Church Street. The studio remains part of the property and features a high-vaulted ceiling, north-facing windows and an original solid fuel stove. After Edis's death in 1955 the house was bought by photographer Cyril Nunn, her former assistant. Nunn was responsible for much her archive being sold to Cromer Museum.
Olive Edis is best known for her early colour, as the first female official war photographer and for her studio portraiture. The main collections of her work are held at Cromer Museum and IWM London.
