Quebec House

Quebec House

Quebec House is the birthplace of General James Wolfe on what is now known as Quebec Square in Westerham, Kent. It is named after his victory at the Battle of Quebec, and the house's coach-house contains an exhibition on the battle and on Wolfe's life. The house itself contains memorabilia on Wolfe's birth at the house on 2 January 1727, and his life and death.

The house was originally built in the 16th century, though it was rebuilt in the 18th and 20th centuries.
