Milton's Cottage, House museum in Chalfont St Giles, United Kingdom

The Grade I listed 16th-century cottage contains exhibitions of John Milton's personal items, early editions of his works, and period furnishings.

During the Great Plague of 1665, John Milton moved to this cottage where he completed Paradise Lost and conceived Paradise Regained.

Milton's Cottage Museum maintains extensive collections of literary materials, prints, artwork, and documents relating to the influential English poet.

The museum at 21 Deanway offers guided tours, educational programs, and garden visits with detailed information about Milton's literary contributions.

This cottage stands as one of the oldest writer's house museums worldwide, saved from relocation to the USA through Queen Victoria's intervention.
