HAM HOUSE – A UNIQUE 17TH CENTURY GEM


One of a series of grand houses and palaces alongside the River Thames, Ham House and Garden impressed in its day and continues to do so today. Rich in history and atmosphere, it is mainly the vision of Elizabeth Murray, Countess of Dysart, who was deeply embroiled in the politics of the English Civil war and subsequent restoration of the monarchy.


Through the centuries Ham has survived war, fashion and neglect to retain a uniquely mysterious aura. Some visitors even claim that it is haunted by the ghosts of its past residents.


Visit us and discover our outstanding collection of furniture and textiles. Explore the Wilderness – our visitors’ favourite area of the garden. Taste produce from our kitchen garden in the Orangery Café or simply enjoy the family house and garden trails and play areas.


Ode to Bartolo Loving and loyal,


A friend through and through, How in the world, a life without you. I watched you grow into a beautiful canine friend. Back in those days could not imagine this end. But now it is all over, and you’re truly gone. Somehow I’ll find a way, to try to carry on. I’ll keep your little photo hung up on my wall,


and I’ll always remember you,


As The Very Best Dog Of All.


Ham House and Garden Ham Street, Richmond-upon-Thames TW10 7RS
