About Anna Sewell's House

Step into the rich history of literary icon Anna Sewell by exploring the newly unveiled birthplace of the beloved author of Black Beauty. Nestled in the heart of Church Plain, Great Yarmouth, this charming abode has been transformed into an education and outreach center, seamlessly integrated into the Redwings Horse Sanctuary.

As a beacon of support for Redwings, a Norfolk-based charity dedicated to the welfare of over 2,000 horses and donkeys throughout Britain, this historic building now serves a dual purpose. Beyond its significance as Anna Sewell's birthplace in 1820, the house stands as a testament to her timeless work, Black Beauty, which shed light on the mistreatment of working horses. First published by Jarrold in 1877, this literary masterpiece skyrocketed to unprecedented success, boasting over 50 million copies sold.

Today, Anna Sewell's birthplace not only honors her literary legacy but also aligns with Redwings' noble mission—to bring an end to the cruelty inflicted upon horses. It is a living showcase, inviting visitors to delve into the poignant narrative of Black Beauty while championing the cause of equine welfare.
