Quebec House is also on the way home, 27th August
Iain, although always a Scot, has Canadian citizenship and was interested in seeing Quebec House, another National Trust property, even closer to the M25 than Chartwell. It was in this in this house that General James Wolfe was born in 1727, it was then the local vicarage. He went on to defeat the French on the Fields of Abraham in 1759, securing Quebec for the British, although being killed in the struggle. This property was very low key when compared to the other ones we had visited over the last 2 days. It was ok to sit on the chairs and someone performed a short piano recital on the 18th century Broadwood while we were in the living room.
