Landmarks edit

 
Howick Hall

Howick Hall was the seat of the Prime Minister Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, after whom the famous tea is named. The original Earl Grey tea was specially blended by a Chinese mandarin to suit the water at Howick, and was later marketed by Twinings. Howick Hall Gardens & Arboretum are open to the public.

Howick is the namesake of the nearby Mesolithic Howick house archaeological site.

Notable people edit

  • Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, after whom the tea is named, had his seat at Howick Hall.
  • Fred Taylor, Halley Professor of Physics at Oxford University, grew up in the village from age 5.


Notes edit

  1. ^ Not, as commonly believed, /hɔɪk/ HOYK as in Hawick. The pronunciation varies among the inhabitants, depending on social class; the aristocrats in the Hall use "Hoh-ick" but the villagers invariably use "How-ick".[citation needed]
