🤓 Fun Facts
Marble Hill is the last complete survivor of a string of Thames-side villas between Richmond and Hampton Court.
Henrietta Howard—once George II’s mistress—used the house to anchor an independent life and salon culture.
The interiors showcase a costly mahogany staircase—exotic hardwoods were status signals in Georgian Britain.
