Pepys House in Brampton, Cambridgeshire, is often referred to in Samuel’s Diary, and is his only extant abode

History

Pepys house lies in meadowland, downhill from Hinchingbrooke House, Huntingdon, the home of Pepys’s patron and cousin, Sir Edward Montagu, later 1st Earl of Sandwich. It is one of the few Grade I listed buildings in the area. Its core comprises a long rectangular timber framed house, probably built towards the end of the 16th century as a single pile with a cross-wing. A parallel wing was added in the 18th century.
