Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865 – 1936) was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist. In 1897, Kipling moved from Torquay to Rottingdean, East Sussex; first to North End House and later to The Elms (a five-bedroom detached home which Kipling rented for more than five years). In 1902, Kipling bought Bateman's, a house built in 1634 and located in rural Burwash, East Sussex, England. Bateman's was Kipling's home from 1902 until his death in 1936
