The Temple of Peace

Come and see the book-lined private study and library of one of the giant figures of the nineteenth century, Prime Minister William Gladstone.

The ‘Temple of Peace’ is in the Castle, which was the former home of the four-time Liberal Prime Minister.

Gladstone’s study, the ‘Temple of Peace’ has remained just as it was when he lived at Hawarden. Packed with books, objects, paintings and papers, the room is part of the Gladstone family home and has very rarely opened for public visits.
