context_page_description: Harold Stanley Ede, also known as Jim Ede, was a British collector of art and friend to artists.
context_section_description: Returning to England in 1956, Ede converted four cottages in Cambridge as a place to live and display his art collection. It was part of his philosophy that art should be shared in a relaxed environment; to this end he would hold 'open house', giving personal tours of the collection to students from the University of Cambridge over afternoon tea. Students could also borrow paintings from his collection to hang in their rooms during term-time. In 1966, Ede gave the house and collection to the University, establishing Kettle's Yard art gallery.
  Ede continued to live at Kettle's Yard until 1973, and then moved to Edinburgh where he lived out his retirement.
