Garrick's Villa, Hampton, seen across the river
David Garrick - the most outstanding actor of his time - came to Hampton in 1754, as tenant of the house which then stood on this site. Over the years he acquired various nearby properties and plots of land, extending the site available to him. Then, in the 1770's, he engaged Robert Adam to transform the existing house into what might pass for a nobleman's country seat. This must at the time have seemed a pretty audacious move - Garrick was laying claim to a position in society unprecedented for a man of the theatre.
In Garrick's time, as in previous centuries, the property was known as Hampton House. The change of name - to Garrick's Villa - was made by Thomas Carr, who acquired the place after the death of Garrick's widow (in 1822).
A detailed account of the history of the house can be found here: http://www.richmond.gov.uk/local_history_garricks_villa.pdf
