In Pictures: Horace Walpole's 18th century Gothic Strawberry
Hill castle set to reopen
The
Strawberry Hill Trust today offered the first glimpses inside
Strawberry Hill, the imperious castle designed as a Gothic
fantasy by Horace Walpole between 1747 and 1792, which will
reopen on October 2 2010 following a £9 million, two-year
project to restore the original look of the Twickenham house.

Strawberry Hill, Horace
Walpole's villa in
Twickenham, inspired a
European-wide gothic
revival.
On 2 October, having been closed for extensive renovation, it opens once again to the public.This morning I was given an early preview of the "fantasy castle" by curator and chair of the Strawberry Hill Trust, Michael Snodin.
Afterwards I talked to former cabinet minister William Waldegrave, whose family took ownership of the house after Walpole died in 1797. They too left their mark.

Collected expressions of an original Goth
by Emmanuel Cooper
Today he is largely remembered
for his house Strawberry Hill, a Gothic folly he built in
Twickenham, south-west London. Here, with remarkable foresight
and unaffected by fashion, he recreated the romantic but
slightly intimidating Gothic style in a rambling, asymmetrical
assortment of towers, turrets and crenellations many decades
before his Victorian successors. Walpole also invented the
Gothic novel with a heady combination of romance, melodrama and
horror. His novel, The Castle of Otranto, was a great success |

Last Christmas, when reviewing
the year’s art books, I heaped praise on Michael Snodin’s book,
Horace Walpole’s Strawberry Hill, about that ‘delectable Gothick
meringue of a house’. Incautiously, I added: ‘I do not think
another book on the subject will ever be needed.’ Fatal!

The Resurrection of a Gothic Mansion
By Eve M. Kahn
LONDON — Horace Walpole, the
British writer, set off a Gothic fiction trend with his 1764
novel, “The Castle of Otranto.” Set in medieval Italy, the plot
revolves around suits of armor and ancestor portraits that come
alive, scare or kill characters and knock down castle walls.
Walpole wrote the book while building himself a Gothic summer
house in southwest London, full of armor, real and fake ancestor
portraits, tight passageways and simulations of medieval
stonework. |

Walpole exhibit crosses the Atlantic
By Amir Sharif
The exhibit, now on display at London’s Victoria & Albert
Museum, is the second part of the collaborative effort of Yale
and the V&A to reunite the trinkets and treasures from
Strawberry Hill, the Gothic-revival mansion that housed 18th
century art collector Sir Horace Walpole’s quirky collections of
paintings, furniture and decorative arts. Though the V&A
exhibit, which opened on March 4, represents the latest of the
center’s exhibits to show abroad, it is part of a long tradition
of collaboration across the Atlantic. |

Horace Walpole’s Strawberry Hill
edited by
Michael Snodin
Some people
catch the imagination. Horace (born Horatio)
Walpole is one of them. His house,
Strawberry Hill, in Twickenham, leased in
1747 and enlarged into a gothic fantasy, has
a big personality of its own. This book,
coinciding with an exhibition of items from
Walpole’s collection at the V&A, elegantly
explains the fascination. Walpole’s
wide-ranging taste was exquisite, from
stained glass to armour, with excellent
paintings. His sense of humour led him to
greet a party of foreigners wearing a cravat
carved by Grinling Gibbons; his illuminating
letters run to 47 volumes. If only we were
that creative today.

The tastemaker

HAVEN - He was, according to one 19th-century reviewer, “the
most eccentric, the most artificial, the most fastidious, the
most capricious, of men.’’ By others he was described as
arrogant, tetchy, jealous, and snobbish. But Horace Walpole was
also, despite the many pejoratives pinged his way, one of the
most important and transforming figures in British culture.

A recent front-page article in

from a lack of visibility: Many undergraduates, apparently, do
not know it exists. There will be some who turn their nose up at
the very idea of pre-twentieth century British art, dismissing
it as derivative, dull, second-rate. That said, I encourage
everyone, teeming undergraduate masses, skeptics and veterans of
the British Art Center alike, to investigate “Horace Walpole’s
Strawberry Hill,” a new exhibition that will be running in New
Haven through Jan. 3; it may or may not make you a regular
visitor to the museum, but it should leave you with a renewed
appreciation for the eccentricities of our cousins across the

'Horace Walpole's Strawberry Hill' At Yale Center for British

...
"I'm tempted to say, 'Welcome to Strawberry Hill,'" says curator
Michael Snodin of the Victoria and Albert Museum, where the
exhibit will travel next spring. Opening the exhibit to the
media earlier this week in New Haven, he said the Louis
Kahn-designed museum was a perfect setting for the Walpole items
because its low ceilings make it seem so domestic.
The new show dovetails nicely with the other major exhibit at
the Center for British Art, "Mrs. Delany and her Circle," as it
was Walpole who designed the fanciful frame depicting portrait
of the botanical artist that opens that show.
"Horace Walpole's Strawberry Hill" continues through Jan. 3 at
the Yale Center for British Art; "Mrs. Delany and her Circle"
through Jan. 3.
Architect Peter Inskip speaks on "Revealing Strawberry Hill
House" Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at the museum. |

in the World Monuments Fund (WMF) Watch List of 100 Most
Endangered Sites. The WMF and the Strawberry Hill Trust,
together with the Friends of Strawberry Hill, are in the midst
of a campaign to conserve the structure and interiors, a project
to which the UK Heritage Lottery Fund, English Heritage, and the

scheduled to open to the general public in late summer 2010.
Special behind-the-scenes tours will be arranged from September

A Gothic castle in Strawberry Hill - listed as an endangered

£400,000
grant and taken
a
step closer to the £8.2m
needed for complete restoration.
Strawberry Hill House, once the home of politician, writer and
architectural innovator Horace
Walpole, was given the cash injection by English Heritage
to help with the extensive rebuilding of the south-east tower.
The house has been on English Heritage's buildings at risk
register since 1996 and in
2004
was included on the world monuments watch list of 100 most
endangered sites.
Rare finds and discoveries have already been made during the
repair and restoration project, including some original
wallpaper from Walpole's time ,found when experts removed
decorations.
Chairman of the Strawberry Hill Trust Michael Snodin said: "We
are very grateful for the continuing support of English Heritage
for this ambitious restoration project.
"We hope that this will invigorate our fundraising efforts and
help us reach our target of £8m."
The preservation organisation also granted £100,000 to the trust
earlier this year to fund restoration work to the elevations,

A Gothic
Story
Horace
Walpole's subtitle to The Castle of Otranto was the first
application of the word "Gothic" to a literary work. He
was inventing a new genre. He was also doing something
deliciously camp. In 1765, when his novel was published,
the subtitle meant something like "a barbarous tale" -
and so it was, with ghosts, tunnels and a sexually
maddened medieval prince. Simply thrill-making!
