English: Old Wyldes The weatherboarded section of Wyldes Farm which adjoins to the right. The name goes back to the C15 when the farm owned a large estate of what was then open country. Much of this (purchased by Eton College) later went to form the Hampstead Heath Extension.
The house became the home of artists and well-heeled bohemians: the painter John Linnell (1792-1882) lived here and was visited by Blake, Morland and Dickens; the Hampstead Fabian-turned-anarchist Charlotte Wilson (1854-1944) entertained Prince Peter Kropokin and others here in the 1880s; and the architect of Hampstead Garden Suburb, Raymond Unwin, lived here from 1906 to his death in 1940.
