Wallblake House, Colonial plantation house in The Valley, Anguilla

Wallblake House features a stone foundation, Guyanese hardwood roof, and connects the kitchen, stable, and former quarters through a series of pathways.

Built in 1787 by sugar planter Will Blake, the house underwent reconstruction after French forces damaged it during their invasion in the late 1790s.

The property stands as a testament to Caribbean plantation life, displaying period architectural elements and maintaining its original kitchen complex and stable block.

Tours of the property require advance arrangements by email, as the house currently functions as a residence for St Gerard's Roman Catholic Church clergy.

The cellar of Wallblake House holds historical significance as the location where an Anguillian named Hodge sought refuge during the 1796 French invasion.
