Ham House (1)
Ham House (1)
Situated off Ham Street and facing the River Thames, this house dates from 1610 and was the creation of William Murray and his daughter Elizabeth, the Duchess of Lauderdale. She and her second husband, the Duke of Lauderdale, made significant and elaborate changes which are still present today. Along the walls and front of the house can be seen busts of Charles I and II, as well as Roman emperors. Also, the statue of a large reclining River God which is made of Coade stone and bought by the 6th Earl of Dysart in the early 19th century. The house remained in the Tollemache family, descendants of the Duchess of Lauderdale, until 1948 when it was given to the National Trust.
