Miss Havisham’s House

For those of you who have read Great Expectations you will remember that a fair amount of the story takes place in Satis House, the home of Miss Havisham where she lives in constant despair after she was jilted at the altar on her wedding day. It is actually based on a real house in Rochester called Restoration House. With Great Expectations being such a favourite of mine and with Rochester being so close it seems incredible that I have never been there. I have always wanted to, but it is one of those attractions that is only open occasionally, and it’s not easy to remember to check when. What I will do is to find the official website, work out when it is open and when I can go and finally make the booking. When I do I will definitely write about it on here.
