Description

It is now generally accepted that the left-hand portion of the building was the Tradescant family home, although the lease of which was acquired by Elias Ashmole shortly after Hester Tradescant's death in 1678. By the time this was painted it was known as Stamford House and run as a school by John Henry Hay. Turret House refers to the right-hand dwelling which was the former home of Ashmole. Tradescant Road and Walberswick Street mark the site of the old Tradescant Home, where John Tradescant and his son established one of the first botanical gardens and museums in England.
