Highbury is a Grade II listed building, which was commissioned by Joseph Chamberlain as his Birmingham residence in 1878, two years after he became Member of Parliament for Birmingham. It took its name from the Highbury area of London, where Chamberlain lived as a child. The south facing grounds of 30 acres associated with Highbury were mainly landscaped by Edward Milner in 1879.
The Chamberlain Highbury Trust was established in 2016 to preserve and restore the house and grounds and give them both a sustainable future. Our aspiration is to make Highbury fully accessible to everyone and regain its rightful place in Birmingham's historical and cultural landscape.
Most importantly, we want Highbury to engage young people from all backgrounds and encourage them to take inspiration from the Chamberlain family heritage. We want them to critically reflect upon leadership in all its forms and to take their place in the future of the region and country.
