Quebec House: echoes through time

Quebec Square, Westerham, Kent, TN16 1TD

  • Multiple dates available
  • In person
  • Pre-booking required

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.

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.
