History+

The construction of Marble Hill House took place between 1724 and 1729. It was commissioned by Lady Henrietta Howard, later Countess of Suffolk and mistress of King George II. The architectural designs were created by Colen Campbell, who drew inspiration from the works of Andrea Palladio and Inigo Jones. Roger Morris supervised the construction. The gardens were designed by the royal gardener Charles Bridgemann and the poet Alexander Pope.
