Gad's Hill Place, Charles Dickens, Department 56, Heritage Village Collection

Gad's Hill Place Dickens Village Fun Fact: Gad’s Hill Place was the country home of Charles Dickens for the last 15 years of his life, and the only house he ever owned. He completed A TALE OF TWO CITIES and wrote his last two novels, GREAT EXPECTATIONS and OUR MUTUAL FRIEND, and the unfinished MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD at Gad's Hill. He died in the house on June 9th, 1870, following a stroke, at the age of 58. After Dickens’s death his eldest son Charley lived in the house until 1878 when his reduced financial circumstances required him to sell it. The house is now a school, and can be visited, with pre-booked tickets, on seven weekends each year, from April to October.
