History+

Built in 1610, Ham House underwent interior renovations between 1637 and 1639 under William Murray, a confidant of King Charles I. From this period date the Great Staircase, a suite of rooms on the first floor, as well as the Great Dining Room, the North Drawing Room, and the Long Gallery with its Picture Closet. In the 1670s, the estate was expanded by the Duke of Lauderdale, and the interiors underwent a refurbishment. Many of the current furnishings, including inlays, carvings, and leather wall hangings, date from this period and were often custom-made for the house.
