BRITISH ASSOCIATION 
FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE 
DOWN HOUSE 
Down House, in Kent, the home of Darwin from 1842 to 1882, was 
presented to the Association by Sir Buckston Browne, F.R.C.S., F.S.A., 
to hold in custody for the nation. 
The memorial rooms and grounds have been restored as closely as 
possible as they appeared in Darwin’s time. They are open to the public 
daily between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. from April to September, and between 
II a.m. and 4 p.m. from October to March, Christmas Day excepted. 
The memorial rooms contain much original or contemporary furniture 
and pictures, scientific instruments and other objects used by Darwin, 
letters, etc., and there is a notable collection of furniture and other objects 
presented by Sir Buckston Browne from his private collection. The 
Association will welcome offers of Darwiniana.
