Lamb House, House museum in Rye, England
The Georgian-style residence, constructed in 1723, features symmetrical facades, classic proportions, and large windows across its red brick exterior.
King George I stayed at Lamb House in 1726 when his ship washed ashore at Camber Sands, becoming godfather to James Lamb's newborn son.
Author Henry James lived at Lamb House from 1897 to 1916, writing several novels in the Garden Room before its destruction in 1940.
The National Trust operates guided tours of both floors of Lamb House, with access to the walled garden designed by Alfred Parsons.
The BBC transformed Lamb House into fictional Mallards for their 2014 adaptation of Mapp and Lucia, building a temporary Garden Room replica.
