VG Gads Hill Place in Higham was the beloved country home of Charles Dickens. The novelist first encountered the mansion in 1821 when he was nine years old and would often walk from Chatham to Gads Hill Place as he wished to see it again and again as an image of his possible future. Dickens was later to write, 'I used to look at it as a wonderful Mansion (which God knows it is not) when I was a very odd little child with the first faint shadows of all my books in my head - I suppose.' Thirty-five years later, Dickens, now famous and of wealth, discovered that the house was for sale and purchased it for £1790 in March 1856. Initially Dickens bought the house as an investment, intending to let it, but changed his mind and used it instead as a country retreat, moving into the house in June 1857.
