    A gift from the king
    Originally built in 1610, Ham House is the creation of an enterprising courtier, William Murray, and his tenacious daughter Elizabeth.

    As a boy, William was educated with the young Charles I. Remaining friends as adults; William was given the lease of Ham House and its estate as a gift from the King in 1626. William, and later his daughter Elizabeth, transformed Ham into the house we see today; a rare 17th-century survival of luxury and grandeur.

    Ham House is a 17th-century pile between the river and Petersham. It's had a long list of famous residents from the courts of many British kings and queens through the years. Its attractive red bricks are quite distinctive, so even if you just stop outside it's worth it.
