Strawberry Hill

"Nearly a mile farther is Strawberry Hill, where the celebrated Horace Walpole collected the famous assortment of valuables and curiosities, which, under the direction of the late Earl of Waldegrave, were consigned to the hammer of George Robins, and dispersed among those private individuals who were wealthy enough to become possessed of the varied contents of this Gothic hall."- Bradshaw's Illustrated Handbook to London and its Environs 1862
