This neo-classical house makes a particularly grand statement of classical refinement. Osterley Park was completed in 1576 by Sir Thomas Gresham, commercial agent and financial adviser to Elizabeth I, and it was described at the time as 'a faire and stateley brick house'. The house was acquired by Sir Francis Child in 1713, a self-made man who rose from apprentice to owner of a firm of goldsmiths. Two generations later this wealthy banking family commissioned the fashionable architect Robert Adam to transform the existing Tudor mansion into ‘the palace of palaces’. The stunning interiors are one of the most complete surviving examples of his craft, with beautiful plasterwork and exquisite furniture, all designed specifically for Osterley Park.
