Tour of Foxhill House

Heritage Open Days 2025

Sun Sep 14, 11:00 & 12:30

Foxhill House is being opened to the public again this year.

Alfred Waterhouse, renowned for his architecture, especially for Grade 2-listed Foxhill House which he designed for himself, designed other buildings for the Whiteknights estate as well as in Reading town; examples are Erleigh Park House, The Wilderness, the Town Hall and Reading School. After him, there were several other well-known owners of Foxhill until the University of Reading acquired the house in 1955 for use as student accommodation. Since 2004 it has been the home of the School of Law.

The guided tour by members of The Friends of the University of Reading will enable you to see the hall and some rooms in the house as well as the former stable block, the stylish external design and the garden.

 

Tours start at 11:00 and 12:30
