The home of the astronomer, William Herschel who was famous for his refinements in the making of telescopes. These endeavours led him to the discovery of the planet Uranus, from the garden behind the house, in 1781. This Georgian House has been refurbished to show how it might have looked when William and his sister lived in it. In the lobby, a replica of Herschel's seven-foot telescope and a model of his massive forty-foot telescope give indications of his pioneering spirit in the sciences. The parlour is decorated with reproduction 18th century wallpaper, and has period furniture on display. The china used by John Herschel (William's son) is also displayed. Temporary exhibitions feature regularly.
