Year 13 trip to Strawberry Hill House the ‘birthplace’ of Gothic Literature
In October, 56 Year 13 English students set off on a sunny autumn day for the Gothic delights of Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham, the artistic expression of Horace Walpole’s Gothic vision. We were treated to small group tours of the house and a very informative lecture by James Lesslie from St Mary’s. We had the gardens and house to ourselves for the day and it was a fantastic place to enrich students’ knowledge of the Gothic genre, a key component of their A Level course.
