Britain's What's On Event Guide
Leith Hill Place
Heritage Open Day: Step inside Leith Hill Place, a welcoming home from home nestled in the Surrey Hills. Childhood home of one of England’s greatest composers Ralph Vaughan Williams, Leith Hill is a place of creativity and inspiration. This year the house is honouring its connections with naturalist Charles Darwin (Ralph Vaughan William's great uncle) who was a regular visitor to Leith Hill Place. Darwin and his niece Lucy, conducted experiments about the activity and movement of earthworms, and you can still see his 'worm stone' in the grounds today.
As part of our celebration of the role of invertebrates, local artists and students from University of the Creative Arts Surrey have responded to a brief ‘Tread Carefully.
