AGA_Stories
 

Owner: Philippa Normanton
Model: White 2-door
Vintage: c 1960s
Location: Lincolnshire
Snapshot: Guy’s Head Lighthouse sits on the mudflats on the bank of the River Nene in Lincolnshire. The AGA has seen better days, but is still very much part of the family. “We use it mainly as a slow cooker now,” says Philippa, “as it doesn’t heat up as well as other AGAs, but it’s perfect for my overnight stews.” The AGA’s gentle heat is also perfect for warming up the lighthouse.
Finest Hour: Providing a rest and recharge spot for the Normantons’ Giant African Tortoise, which has its very own step-ladder to climb into the bottom oven for a quick warm-up. The AGA also has shelves built on one side, the lowest of which acts as a bed for Samphire the Springer Spaniel.
