About
Ham House is unique as the most complete survival of 17th century fashion and power. One of a series of palaces and grand houses along the banks of the river Thames, it was built in 1610 and remodelled in the 1630s. In the 1670s the house was greatly enlarged by the Duke and Duchess of Lauderdale, in order to reflect their status in Charles's II Restoration court and to accomodate their outstanding collection of fine art, textiles and furniture. Much of these collections remain in the house to the present day.
The formal garden is significant for its survival within the area known to be the craddle of the English Landscape Movement.
