The Red House was for many years the home of Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears. Cosy Nook, in the grounds, was a cottage they built for their housekeeper, Elizabeth "Nellie" Hudson (1898-1982), when she retired in 1973. Miss Hudson chose the name Cosy Nook herself. The architect was Peter Collymore (1929-2019), who also designed the Library at the Red House for Britten and Pears: his obituary can be seen at https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2019/jul/08/peter-collymore-obituary. Cosy Nook is now used by Britten Pears Arts for artists' residencies (https://brittenpearsarts.org/take-part/artists/residencies/creative-retreats ).
