Architecture Talk: echoes through time.
Quebec House is known for its most famous resident, General James Wolfe. But the story of the property is far broader. Join us for this pop-up talk where we'll explore how the house changed hands, shape, and even its purpose over 400 years.
We are excited to be embracing this years Heritage Open Days theme, Architecture, and during our free opening of Quebec House as part of the festival we will be offering architecture talks. Spaces are limited so please book your free ticket early.
When Edward Wolfe and his wife, Henrietta, moved from London to Westerham in 1726 (and consequently started their family), Quebec House had already stood for 100 years. Set in two acres of meadow, it was known by a different name. But the story of the house doesn't end with the Wolfe family's departure and as the residents change, so does the shape and use of the property. With few surviving records, join us as we share the history of the house as pieced together through census records, photographs and architectural surveys.
Talks:
- Friday 19 September. 11:30
- Saturday 20 September. 11:30
- Sunday 21 September. 11:30
Please note:
- Please go to the Coach House for your talk.
- There is a small step into the room where the talk will be being held.
