Edna Clarke kept Jomo Kenyatta warm in cold England

Jomo Kenyatta and Peter Magana. He was the only child from Jomo's four-year marriage to Edna Clarke.

Sandgate, three kilometres East of Torrington, in the beautiful wooded countryside with spectacular views of South Downs in England was where the future President of Kenya went to escape the vagaries of World War II.

The bracken and silver birches punctuating woods and farmlands made Jomo Kenyatta feel like he was in rural Ichaweri. No wonder he kept kienyeji chicken and cultivated vegetables and tomatoes.
