Description

Late 17th Century mansion with art collection, lakeside garden and estate.

The house, with its intimate family rooms contain fine furniture and Dutch Heaver paintings, as well as one of Britain's most important collection of contemporary art in a country house setting. The delightful gardens are a mass of colour in spring and visitors can enjoy walks in the Dingle, a wooded valley, or the popular 'Big Pool' walk. There are also estate walks to and from Hampton Loade.

In 1814 Georgiana Wolryche-Whitmore, of Dudmaston married a young mathematician named Charles Babbage. Babbage is thought of as inventing the forerunner of modern computers. He devoted his life to designing large engines capable of undertaking repetitive calculations automatically. He is also known to have invented a code-breaking device, a system of postage and Dudmastons central heating system.
