STRAWBERRY HILL HOUSE & GARDEN Strawberry Hill was created as a gothic villa by Horace Walpole, the son of Britain s first Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole. Strawberry Hill has been the subject of a major award-winning restoration and was reopened to the public in 2010. This unique villa is of major historical significance as the birthplace of the Gothic Revival in 18th century domestic architecture. From 20 October 2018-24 February 2019, The Lost Treasures of Strawberry Hill exhibition will see some of the most important masterpieces in Horace Walpole s famous and unique collection return to Strawberry Hill for a once-in-a- lifetime exhibition. Horace Walpole s collection was one of the most important of the 18th century. It was dispersed in a great sale in 1842. For the first time in over 170 years, Strawberry Hill will be seen as Walpole conceived it, with the collection in the interiors as he designed it, shown in their original positions.
