Ranger's House and The Wernher Collection Ranger's House and The Wernher Collection English Heritage

Description


The Ranger's house was the formal home of the Rangers of Greenwich Park. It eventually passed into the hands of English Heritage towards the end of the 20th century, but by then all of the furniture, artworks and other fittings had been dispersed so there was no collection to display. Around the same time the collection of former Gold and Diamond magnate Julius Wernher collection had been saved for the nation from being split up and exported, but had no home to go to, so the decision was taken to pair the stately home with no collection and the collection with no home up. Consequently the interior decoration of the house bares no resemblance to how it would have looked when it was occupied, but is more a museum to showcase the Wernher collection.
