In a discussion of the wartime status of Glyndebourne, Rudolf Bing writes, 16 May 1940 “...everything at Glyndebourne, furniture, pictures, books etc…is stored in the big organ room and the house and everything else is completely taken over by L.C.C. evacuated children. In consequence, it might be quite a job to find something in the organ room, which is completely crammed with stuff from one end to the other and from floor to ceiling…”
