Infuriating though they may be to put up, deckchairs are a fixture of beaches,  parks, and gardens. Members of the Bloomsbury Group often assembled on deckchairs at their various houses including Charleston and Ham Spray House. This photograph (c1926-27) was taken by Frances Partridge at the latter and shows Carrington, Saxon Sydney-Turner, Ralph Partridge, and Lytton Strachey who was frequently photographed sitting in a deckchair with his long body folded to the same angles.
