Kelmscott Manor in Oxfordshire
Kelmscott Manor is a beautiful manor house in the Cotswolds (Oxfordshire) and was built around 1570. It gained its fame through William Morris, who lived here from 1871 to 1896.
Morris is known as the father of British Art Nouveau, or “Arts and Crafts.” The predominantly floral motifs he designed can still be found on wallpaper and fabrics today.
The actual house Kelmscott Manor is beautifully situated and is open for visitors. It gives a good insight into the work and living environment of William Morris. The converted attic of the house is well worth seeing, as is the old brewery and the adjacent farm buildings. Don’t miss out on a visit to the tea room which is in one of these buildings and also has a number of tables outside on the grass.
Not far from the estate, the river Thames, which is still narrow at this point, meanders its way through meadows. A walk along the “Thames Way” is definitely worthwhile!
