Lamb House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lamb House is an 18th-century house situated in Rye, East Sussex, England, and in the ownership of the National Trust.
The house has literary connections. It was the home of Henry James from 1898 to 1916, and later of E.F. Benson and Rumer Godden. Benson writes lovingly of both garden and house, renamed "Mallards", in his "Mapp and Lucia" novels.
Some of James's personal possessions can be seen and there is a walled garden.
The house is administered and maintained on the Trust's behalf by its current tenant.
[edit] Trivia
Lamb House is the subject of Joan Aiken's novel The Haunting of Lamb House which is comprised of three novellas about residents of the house at different times, including James himself.
