Cecil Sharpe House is the HQ ofthe English Folk Dance & Song Society.
The President of the EFDSS now is Shirley Collins, well known singer and banjo player of old.
I ran the instrumental workshops there in the 70's when we had 3 beginners guitar classes and one banjo class. People came from far afield such as Herne Bay to learn finger-style guitar as there was no where else to learn that type of playing at the time. Not like now when you can buy a DVD!
