Discover the world of Sir Harry, Lady Emma Hamilton and the dairymaid who married her master at this great house, now restored to its former glory. Remarkably, the basement largely escaped Uppark's devastating fire in 1989 and the servants quarters include beer and wine cellars, butler's pantry and the room used by the housekeeper - a position once held by the mother of writer H.G. Wells.
