Macartney House, a distinguished Grade II Listed residence, traces its origins back to 1676, a testament to its enduring significance in Greenwich's storied past. Situated atop Crooms Hill, within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of maritime Greenwich, it occupies a privileged position on Chesterfield Walk.
Among its illustrious former inhabitants, Major General James Wolfe, the revered Hero of Quebec, resided here with his family from 1751. His legacy is honored by a blue plaque adorning the house, a statue in Greenwich Park, and his final resting place in nearby St Alfege Church.
