Quebec House
Quebec Square, Westerham, Kent, TN16 1TD
The Battle of Quebec changed the course of history and this story is revealed at the small but charming childhood home of the battle's victor, General James Wolfe. Discover how James would have been schooled, the pastimes the family enjoyed, and what life as a soldier would have been like. Delight in the 18th-century garden, hidden away in the heart of Westerham, and enjoy a taste of Georgian cookery with recipes taken from Mrs Wolfe's recipe book which is also on display.
Running especially for the Heritage Open Day weekend, and in collaboration with the Westerham Town Partnership, come and learn more about the people who came to Quebec House after the Wolfe family, and how their occupancy led to the house we know today.
After you've explored Quebec House, commence on the Westerham Photo Trail, a self-led walk around the town where you will uncover the rich history of this small town, written by Westerham Society.
