Welcome to Strawberry Hill House & Garden. Created by Horace Walpole in the 18th century, Strawberry Hill has been open to visitors for over 250 years. This extraordinary building is internationally famous as Britain’s finest example of Georgian Gothic revival architecture and home to an important collection of paintings and objects.
Horace Walpole was a pivotal figure in 18th Century society, literature, art and architecture. The third son of Sir Robert Walpole, Britain’s first Prime Minister, Horace was author of ‘The Castle of Otranto’, the world’s first Gothic novel.
In 2000, Strawberry Hill House & Garden was saved by the local community who raised significant funds to completely restore this unique ‘little Gothic castle’ and enable it to welcome visitors again.
As an independent charity relying on self-generated income, our American Friends are vital as they help with essential conservation work, maintain the house & garden, support the care of our collection and enable our learning programmes.
