Help us raise £30,000 to bring back one of the most iconic features of Horace Walpole’s historic garden.
Strawberry Hill House & Garden is launching an appeal to recreate the Shell Seat, one of the most visually arresting and evocative features of Horace Walpole’s eighteenth-century garden. Designed as a place for rest, conversation and delight, the Shell Seat formed part of Walpole’s celebrated “land of beauties” — a landscape shaped by imagination, sociability and theatrical effect.
With your support, we can ensure this extraordinary garden feature endures for generations to come.
This ambitious project will employ cutting-edge digital mapping technology from Factum Arte to design and create a faithful, weather-resistant replica based on the original eighteenth-century drawings, ensuring the seat endures for future generations.
Strawberry Hill House & Garden is launching an appeal to raise £85,000 to secure South East View of Strawberry Hill House by Johann Heinrich Müntz. Painted between 1755 and 1758, this extraordinary view captures Horace Walpole’s Gothic villa at the very moment the Gothic Revival was being born.
Commissioned by Walpole himself, the painting is the only contemporary visual record of his first Gothic experiment.
The painting is on short-term loan in the Red Bedchamber from 30th March 2026, where it can be viewed for free with general admission.
Two generous supporters have pledged to match donations to this appeal, meaning every gift you make will go twice as far until we reach our target.
With your support, we can bring this masterpiece home permanently, where it belongs.
Johann Heinrich Müntz, South East View of Strawberry Hill House, c.1755–58. Oil on canvas.
