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 

 1 1 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.
