Description

Rainham Hall is open following a £2.5 million conservation project. This charming house is one of the country’s finest examples of an early 18th century merchant’s home. It is just two minutes’ walk from Rainham Station, in the heart of the village.

With engaging installations and a year-round programme of exhibitions and events, there is something for all ages. Rainham Hall has been home to a richly diverse cast of characters.

What to see

The history of Rainham Hall: Rainham Hall is a rare survivor and a remarkably fine example of Queen Anne style architecture, built in 1729. It was designed as a home, for a merchant, to be lived in and used. Nearly 50 different families and inhabitants have resided at Rainham Hall since then, including solicitors, artists, children in a day nursery, a cycling vicar and architectural historians. Since opening in 2015 we are researching their stories one by one and sharing these through a series of exhibitions and installations displayed in the hall.
