Discover an ordinary terraced house with an extraordinary hand-painted interior with a guided tour.
David Parr House is an ordinary terraced house with an extraordinary, hand-painted interior. Home to the Victorian working-class artist, David Parr and his family, the house is an example of Arts and Crafts workmanship layered with 20th-century social history.
Founded in 2014, David Parr House CIO preserves, shares and sustains the house for future generations. We present a dynamic programme of house tours, workshops, events and exhibitions and work with our research partners to uncover overlooked aspects of decorative arts history.
David Parr House is located at 184/186 Gwydir Street, Cambridge, CB1 2LW.
We are open Thursday – Saturday, 10am – 5pm.
Visit the house, see what’s on and browse the shop.
