“At the back of T/T hill.” Landscape view of a hillside on which sit several thatched huts. The Tumutumu hill was considered a sacred site and a Church of Scotland mission was established there in 1909 under the leadership of Rev. Arthur Ruffelle Barlow (1888-1965). The mission catered to the Northern Gikuyu with extensive educational and medical work. ❧ This image is from an album chronicling the time that Dr Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) spent at Tumutumu (1919-1921) and some of the early years at Chogoria.
