Thomas Grey, Eccardt, 1744-8, in National Portrait Gallery Horace Walpole, Eccardt, 1754, on loan to Strawberry Hill House from National Portrait Gall

About

To celebrate Pride month Strawberry Hill is hosting an LGBTQ+ tour. The tour will seek to explore more about Horace Walpole's sexuality by investigating the correspondence between his network of friends and acquaintances, and how this might inform our interpretation of his house and collection.

As visitors are led through the House, our tour guide will reveal how Strawberry Hill enabled Walpole to build a unique identity for himself by his radical use of architecture, design, and antiquarianism. Learn also, how Walpole's famous and prolific correspondence, with his extensive network of friends and acquaintances, bring his colourful times to life.
