About
Left to Colchester City Council by W. O. Peake but long since restored and let for holidays by the Landmark Trust, Peake's House stands in the Dutch Quarter, which has retained its old street plan. It was originally three timber-framed houses with shops at street level. Colchester was a centre of the cloth trade and the long mullioned windows, designed to give light to men at their looms, suggest these houses belonged to weavers. The satisfying late-Elizabethan interiors evoke the life of a prosperous late-Elizabethan merchant.
Historical information and a children's activity sheet will be available.
