During World War II, the British sculptor Henry Moore established his permanent home at a house in Perry Green, Much Hadham, in Hertfordshire.1
After initially working in a cottage in Kent, the threat of invasion near the coast prompted Moore and his wife to relocate. They settled in this tranquil countryside location, situated about 20 miles north of London, where Moore expanded the property by adding studios and additional rooms to an ancient farmhouse.1
