Prospect Cottage

[2] Actress and friend Tilda Swinton recalls Jarman buying "gallons of pitch black paint" to redecorate.

[7] Writing of his early months at Prospect Cottage, he said that initially "people thought I was building a garden for magical purposes - a white witch out to get the nuclear power station".

The house was put up for sale in 2018 after Collins' death,[3] its interior still contains artwork by Jarman's friends and admirers, including Maggi Hambling, John Maybury, Gus Van Sant and Richard Hamilton.

[13] As part of the fundraising efforts, costume designer Sandy Powell, a friend of Jarman's, collected film stars' signatures on her cream calico suit at the 2020 BAFTAs award show[14] and 2020 Oscars ceremony,[15] with the suit auctioned online between 4 and 11 March by Phillips auction house, London, and selling for £16,000.

[16] It was announced in April 2020 that, thanks to these fundraising efforts, Prospect Cottage had been saved for the nation with Creative Folkestone becoming the custodians of the property.
