Strawberry Hill House is one of the finest examples of Georgian Gothic Revival architecture in the country. The coachman of the Earl of Bradford were responsible for the earliest building which was begun in 1698. Horace Walpole, son of the first Prime Minister, transformed the building into a ‘ little Gothic Castle’. Between 1747 and 1792, Walpole doubled the building in size and created the majority of what visitors can see today, a spectacular collection of interior and exterior beauty.
