About This Event

In 1798, Mrs Ann Portman moved to Salisbury with her three unmarried daughters, Ann Mary, Henrietta and Wyndham. After becoming a widow, she had to leave her family home and brought her daughters to live at Mompesson House. She died in 1814 but two of her daughters continued to live at Mompesson until their deaths. Henrietta was the only daughter to marry and sold the house in 1846. Explore the house dressed to reflect the Portman family’s time at Mompesson and discover more about the family and Regency life. Highlights include a Regency parlour downstairs and a children’s playroom upstairs featuring Regency games and toys. Pick up a spotter trail when you arrive and look for hidden details around the house. Throughout the year we'll have fun facts and activities to bring the Regency social season to life. Support Mompesson by making a donation for a Regency-themed pin badge as a memento of your visit.
