Located next door to the Westerham Place care home. It was built between 1530-1550. There you can learn about the domestic life and military career of James Wolfe. Great knowledgeable guides will help with all your questions about the history of the residents of the house. The little second hand shop is located next to the reception area. There are toilet facilities on the site. Decent size Darent car park with free parking on Sandays, £1 for and 2 hours, £1.50 for 3 hours, £2 for 4 hours and £4 for the whole day is about 2 min walk from the house and located right next to Westerham Place care home.
Small property with excellent and informative volunteers. We are National Trust members and were visiting Churchill’s Chartwell House nearby so thought we’d pop in here too, though knew nothing about James Wolfe before coming or that his childhood home here predated him by 200 years but later renamed after he won the Battle of Quebec. The volunteers in each room were superb - very friendly and informative about the items in the room and history of his life and the battle. This was very good as about half of the rooms are styled from the period, one as a school room, then others tell of the battle, which has a little uneven signage/info. You can probably see the approx. 8 rooms and exhibition in 15-45 minutes depending on how much you speak with the volunteers. Make sure to check out the exhibition on the first floor of the coach house a 10 meter walk after exiting. Tip: the village’s parking lot is a brief 2 minute walk away with ample parking
Small and cosy house. Rented - not owned. Chap joined army at age of 14. Died as General 32yrs old. Its been so easy to own Canada those days ;- Great achievements in his short life. Did he own anything?? Properties, money??
A nice little gem of a place. Very interesting for anyone interested in British 18th century history. No refreshments on site but there are toilets. Shops and cafes in Westerham village are 5 minutes walk but up a steep hill. Quebec House is close the council P&D car park £1-2, next to a care home, opposite Quebec Square. Signage is not great so you might walk past it without realising.
Nice small house guided tour was very informative and the guide friendly and very knowledgeable.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
A Westerham located National Trust property with very strong links to Canada! Park in the Darent car park free on Sundays and Bank holidays, takes car or card via MiPermit. Quebec House is a very short walk. This house is the childhood home of General James Wolfe, victor of the Battle of Quebec. Hence, the connection to Canada! The Canadian government owned the house briefly before gifting it to the NT. The volunteer guides here are superb. Very knowledgeable. It’s worth seeing the local church and the town. The Churchill statue is good to see. Chartwell, Churchill’s House is 10 mins away and worth a visit. It’s also a NT property. If you’re planning on visiting more than three NT properties in a year it’s worth considering becoming a member.
One of the smaller National Trust properties and gardens we have visited but very interesting nonetheless. This was the childhood home of the General James Wolfe who lead the British troops to victory at the battle of Quebec. In my ignorance I only began to appreciate history many years after leaving school I had never heard of the man or the battle but this was apparently one of the most significant battles of the British Empire as we seized control of Canada from the French. Watch the introductory video in the room above the cafe to learn about the strategy deployed.
Really good fun. Don't think I have ever written with a quill and ink pot before. Very intersting learning about the Navel history. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable guides. They had a fun cooking demonstration when we went of cakes baked from olden times ~ surprisingly yummy parking by local car park. But when we went free at some days/hours. Nice little garden and tearoom. Would recommend a visit.
Nice house and lovely to walk around, however most of the second and third floor are closed which is a shame. Staff very friendly.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
A small but beautifully presented National trust property located in Westerham on the A25. Approximately, 10 minutes drive from the M25. The pay and display car park free on Sundays and bank holidays is within easy walking distance. The staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable. The second hand book shop is well worth a visit, hard backed books are £2 each and paper backs are £1 each.
