Tour of Stephens House! (the home of ink)

Come along on Saturday 2nd May for a tour of the Stephens House in Finchley, the home of ink!

About the house
Stephens House is a Victorian house and the the former home of Henry 'Inky' Stephens (1796-1864) and his family. He was an inventor and in 1832, invented an indelible "blue-black writing fluid" which was to become famous as Stephens' Ink. This formed the foundation of a successful worldwide company for over 150 years.

The outbuildings of the house were used by the inventor as a laboratory for research and manufacture of ink and wood stains. The house also has extensive gardens.
