Description:Hogarth's House is a small historic Queen Anne house filled with William Hogarth's famous prints and some exhibitions, set within a small walled Mulberry garden with a new single storey building, the Weston studio for community events, talks and workshops. Hogarth’s House was built between 1713 and 1717 and from 1749 until his death was the country home of the great painter, engraver and satirist William Hogarth (1697 – 1764). The small, pretty Mulberry Garden is enclosed by an historic Grade I listed garden wall, and is an “exhibition garden”. Its design reflects elements from all the different uses the garden has had throughout its history. It has a nut walk, artist palette coloured beds of planting and an historic skittle alley. The Weston Studio is a modern building but with a subtle Hogarthian theme with the centre connected to the house by a serpentine glass sheet shaped like the Line of Beauty, first coined by Hogarth as the essence of aestheticism to be found in nature and a line that is repeated elsewhere in the nut path frame, a garden bench and the low garden wall.
