About

Marble Hill House is a Grade I listed Neo-Palladian villa built between 1724 and 1729 in Twickenham as the home of Henrietta Howard, Countess of Suffolk. Its compact design became influential as a model for Georgian villas and American plantation houses. The house is now managed by English Heritage.

The Neo-Palladian villa is architecturally beautiful, set on the Thames in Twickenham. Free entry and the riverside grounds are pleasant for a walk. The interior is modest. Children aged 8+ interested in Georgian design may engage. Combine with a Twickenham riverside walk.
