Fix this textAT Westerham, near the summit of the North Downs in Kent, is Quebec
Fix this textHouse, the home of Westerham’s soldier hero, General James Wolfe, the
Fix this textvictor of Quebec in 1759. The gabled red-brick house is of 16th-century origin
Fix this textand when owned by Wolfe's parents was known as Spiers. It is now an

Fix this textJames Wolfe, the son of Colonel Wolfe, was born in 1727 at Westerham
Fix this textand joined the army at the age of 14. By the age of 33 he had made himself
Fix this texta master of military science. Not attractive in personal appearance—very tall,
Fix this textslight, almost ungainly, with thin red hair and a- receding chin—yet he was
Fix this texttrusted implicitly by his men because of his capacity as a soldier. He was
Fix this textchosen by Pitt, the Secretary of State, to command Britain s forces under
Fix this textAmherst in North America against the French. In 1758 he captured Louisberg,
Fix this textand the following year he was promoted Major-General. He was given
Fix this textcommand of the expedition of 9000 soldiers against the French at Quebec in
Fix this text1759. The first assault failed, but later, by distracting the attention of the
Fix this textFrench by surprise attacks in other quarters, General Wolfe s troops scaled
Fix this textthe cliffs to the Plains of Abraham where the decisive battle against Montcalm s
Fix this textFrench forces took place. The engagement was short and decisive, but at the
Fix this textmoment of victory Wolfe was killed. The following year Montreal capitulated
Fix this textand the French empire in Canada ceased to exist.
Fix this textToday a statue of Wolfe stands in Westerham, a bed of geraniums does
Fix this texthim homage and he is commemorated by a tablet over the south door of
Fix this textWesterham's Early English church.
