"This Regency terrace house is where Gustav Holst, composer of The Planets, was born in 1874. The story of the man and his music is told alongside a fascinating display of personal belongings, including his piano. The museum is also a fine period house showing the “upstairs downstairs” way of life in times past, including a working Victorian kitchen and laundry, an elegant Regency drawing room and a charming Edwardian nursery. See website for details of forthcoming events, school holiday activities etc."
