Research Notes - The Cranmore Ethnographical Museum was established by Harry Geoffrey Beasley (1881-1939) and his wife Irene in their home, Cranmore House, in Chislehurst, Kent (now in Greater London), the collections being dispersed after his death. For more information on Beasley and his private Cranmore Ethnographical Museum, see Hermione Waterfield, 'Harry Geoffrey Beasley', in Hermione Waterfield and J. C. H. King (eds.), Provenance: Twelve Collectors of Ethnographic Art in England, 1760-1990 (Paris and Geneva, 2006), pp.78-91. [PG 09/08/2012]
