Ham House
Ham House is one of the most remarkably intact Stuart mansions in Europe, sitting quietly beside the Thames in Richmond. Built in the early seventeenth century and lavishly remodelled by the powerful Duke and Duchess of Lauderdale, it retains its original furnishings, textiles, and formal gardens almost untouched. Step inside and the seventeenth century feels close enough to touch.
