High House, Purfleet, Grade II listed heritage site in Purfleet, England
High House encompasses multiple buildings across fourteen acres, featuring workshops, studios, and performance spaces dedicated to theatrical production and artistic development.
The property originated between 1552 and 1559 when Cecily Long divided the Manor of West Thurrock, with the current brick structure replacing timber construction in 1684.
The Royal Opera House conducts set production and costume creation at High House, where skilled artisans craft pieces for performances at Covent Garden.
The Backstage Centre provides training facilities for theater production skills, while Acme Studios offers residential spaces and workrooms for professional artists.
The hexagonal dovecote contains 517 nest boxes accessed by an original wooden ladder, making it one of the finest examples in Southern England.
