Octavia Hill’s Birthplace House

Octavia Hill's Birthplace House 

 

Octavia Hill’s life and legacy are celebrated at her Birthplace House at 1 South Brink Place, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire PE13 1JF, a handsome Georgian building facing the river Nene. The house and its exhibits demonstrate this remarkable woman’s influence on spheres of life still relevant today: her fight against poverty and disease and her quest to bring peace and beauty into the lives of ordinary working people.

A major building programme is restoring the Georgian Grade II* listed building to its original size.

 

From 15 March 2008, the museum is open on Mon, Tues, Wed, Sat & Sun, from 1pm – 4.30pm, (last admissions 4pm), so visits can be combined with the National Trust’s delightful Peckover House, nearby. The museum is open to groups at other times by appointment.
