Marble Hill House is an elegant Palladian villa found in the middle of acres of parkland. It was built for a mistress of King George II as a retreat from the stress of fast-paced 18th century court life. Its rooms are full of lavish decoration and are home to Panini paintings, a collection of early Georgian art and furniture, and the Lazenby Bequest Chinoiserie display. An audio tour, exhibition and film are available to explain the history of this magnificent house, its glamorous former residents and the surrounding area. Marble Hill House also serves as an atmospheric, beautiful venue for highly recommended outdoor concerts. Marble Hill House is only open for public access from March-October.
