Uppark House and Garden

Uppark is an 18th century Georgian mansion in the South Downs (the hilly area south of London). In 1989 a fire destroyed a large part of the mansion, but luckily, it happened during the daytime, so staff and tourists had a chance to rescue much of the furniture, wall hangings, art, and mirrors. It took 5 years to restore the house and reopen it. Unfortunately, photos are not allowed of the interior, so I used these from the National Trust website. The restoration work is amazing!

A beautiful Doll House has been at Uppark since 1746. Since it is 300 years old and in such good condition, it is obvious that it was not played with, but was Lady Featherstonhaugh's hobby. It is furnished with fine furniture with real marble tops, imported silks, porcelain, oil paintings, and real candles!Read more
