During these unusual times general tours of the house are on hold. However, we are working on exciting new ways for you to experience the house, including our new online guided tours.
Our website has a wealth of fascinating information to explore including audio memories, stories and research. To keep up to date with the latest news, online talks and workshops, please sign up to our newsletter and follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
The house has been saved by a dedicated team of workers, volunteers and generous donors. Now we are crafting its future. As an independent charity the only way for us to continue to open the house and share its stories is by creating an endowment so we can work with visitors, volunteers and our community.
By supporting us you are helping to share the house and tell its stories, forever. Donate now.
Join our community of regular donors, funders and supporters who enjoy behind the scenes access, the latest research and special events. By supporting our endowment you are helping to us to deliver tours of the house, exhibitions, talks, workshops and community outreach.
In April 2021 National Lottery Heritage Fund matched every pound we had raised to create a £1 million endowment. Thank you so much to every single one of you that has helped by giving a gift, your time, your creativity and above all your enthusiasm. The endowment will continue to grow to craft a bright future for the house and its collections.

From the moment that Tamsin first saw the house and spoke to Elsie in 2009 she knew she had stumbled upon something special. How could such a house be saved?
