Strawberry Hill: Horace Walpole’s Gothic Castle

Strawberry Hill was Horace Walpole's 'Little play-thing house' and became one of the wonders of eighteenth-century architectural world. The authors take us on that same route and room by room, with Walpole at our elbow, revealing the theatrical planning, the deliberate contrasts of light and colour and the love of drama invested in each detail.
