Gad's Hill Place in Higham, Kent, sometimes spelt Gadshill Place and Gads Hill Place, was the country home of Charles Dickens. Today the building is the independent Gad's Hill School. The house was built in 1780 for a former mayor of Rochester, Thomas Stephens, opposite the present Sir John Falstaff Public House.
