Historian Thomas Carlyle and his wife Jane – described by Henry James as 'a most original and entrancing pair' – were a celebrity couple who lived here from 1834 to 1881. Discover the period kitchen, dining room, bedroom and soundproofed attic study, all filled with their original contents, and visit the reconstructed garden.
