Kelmscott Manor

Kelmscott Manor is a limestone manor house in Kelmscott, on the north bank of the River Thames in Oxfordshire.

The house dates from around 1570, with a late 17th-century wing. Its most famous resident was William Morris, the leading light of the Arts and Crafts Movement of the Victorian period and intimate of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Morris named his publishing house the Kelmscott Press after the house. (Read more)
