The Georgian House Museum
The Georgian House was built for John Pinney, a West India 
merchant in 1790. Pero his slave also lived here and the interior is displayed 
as it might have been in the 18th century and provides a lifelike insight into 
life above and below stairs.
Inside there are 11 rooms which are spread over 
four floors and include the basement with the kitchen, housekeeper’s room, 
pantry and John Pinney’s cold water plunge pool. Visitors can also visit the 
formal rooms including John Pinney’s office, two dining rooms, a Library and two 
drawing rooms and a small exhibition on the Pinney’s involvement in the sugar 
trade and John Pinney’s slave, Pero.
