Strawberry Hill House & Garden is a Grade I listed building set within a Grade II listed landscape, created by Horace Walpole in the 18th century. The House is world-renowned for its unique architectural style and is one of the first examples of domestic Gothic architecture. Having been extensively restored in 2010, the House now welcomes around 25,000 visitors per year.
Strawberry Hill House was built with extraordinary creative and artistic imagination. We aim to recapture that vibrant atmosphere and enthusiastic energy as we reinvigorate the House’s creative spirit.
Nevil Tomlinson is a Trustee for the Strawberry Hill Collections Trust and an expert on Horace Walpole and the life of the house and museum. In this talk, Nevil will give an introduction to this important monument, explaining the creation of the house in the 18th century and its links to Painshill. He will also discuss our charity’s ongoing work and restoration challenges.
Location: The Abercorn Room at Painshill
