The Bumps at Ditton Corner This painting of the Bumps day crowds at Ditton Corner was painted by Percy Robert Craft in 1906. The Percy Craft painting was re-discovered in the archives of the Cambridge Guildhall in 2001 and took over a year to restore. It is now on display in the Cambridge Tourist Information Centre. It pictures in accurate detail the crowds who turned out in 1906. Hats were clearly an important part of the occasion, as can also be seen on all the hats assembled in the photograph of our house in 1910. Please wear an appropriate hat to help us recreate the atmosphere of the occasion.
