Meet The Author; James Tayor: As part of our 'Meet the Author' series visitors are given the chance to hear a talk by James Taylor at The Home of Charles Darwin, Down House. James will also be on hand to answer questions and sign copies of his book, which will be available for purchase. Please check the website for further details.
With its unique place in the history of science, Down House, the home of Charles Darwin, is one of the major visitor attractions in the South East. See the study where Darwin wrote 'On the Origin of Species', still as it was when he worked here, and stroll through the extensive gardens that so inspired the great scientist. Equally fascinating are the glimpses you get into the life of the Darwins in the family rooms. And there's an exciting interactive multimedia tour, narrated by David Attenborough, to tell you more about how Darwin developed his ideas.
