Lamb House
Lamb House in Rye, East Sussex, is a handsome early 18th-century townhouse with a deeply literary soul — it was the home of the American novelist Henry James from 1898 to 1916, and he wrote some of his greatest late works here. E.F. Benson also lived here later, using Rye as the inspiration for his beloved Mapp and Lucia novels. The house looks out over one of the most enchanting cobbled streets in England, and its walled garden is a delight.
