Laurence Harwood, C.S. Lewis’s godson, was a lecturer at last year’s Summer Seminar on C.S. Lewis Remembered.\u00a0 His father, Cecil Harwood, was a close personal friend of Lewis as well as fellow Inkling Owen Barfield.\u00a0 Harwood and Barfield had often rented a small cottage-Bee Cottage-in Beckley, a few miles from Lewis’s home in the Kilns, and Lewis often visited the place (perhaps while on walking tours though the countryside just like his character Elwin Ransom).\u00a0 Unfortunately its precise location was lost and remained unknown.<\/p>\n

However, after Laurence’s lectures in memory of C.S. Lewis, Kate, Kim, and Laurence decided that searching for the cottage would be a great idea, and a great way to remember Lewis.\u00a0 After a while, they managed to locate the small house, and found that it looked just as anyone would have expected-the waning summer sun sinking behind it, and the bees buzzing about the lavender plants alongside the stairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
