The Story of Emily Museum celebrates the life of humanitarian Emily Hobhouse, who campaigned against the UK's use of concentration camps in the Boer War. Located in her birthplace, the east Cornish village of St Ive, the museum site the museum site encompasses the rectory where she grew up in addition to a collection of new build and rebuilt elements. These are defined by two sharply different characters – a modern take on the traditional Cornish vernacular for the visitor amenities and staff facilities, and a contrasting, zinc-clad form for the exhibition on the war. In doing so, the buildings reflect the dislocation between Hobhouse’s St Ive early life and her later experiences in the Anglo-Boer War in southern Africa.
