Fodor's Review:
Home to William Hogarth, the satirical painter and engraver, from 1749 until his death in 1764. Unprotected from the six-lane Great West Road, which remains a main route to the West Country, the poor house is besieged by surrounding traffic, but it's worth visiting for its little museum containing his amusing moralistic engravings, such as Beer Street, Marriage a la Mode, The Harlot's Progress, and the most famous of all, the Rake's Progress series of 1735. Look out too for the 300-year-old mulberry tree in the garden, a vain attempt to get silkworms to breed in England.
