Kelmscott Manor was the former Cotswold retreat of William Morris, his family and his friends. This seventeenth-century manor is owned by the Society of Antiquaries of London, and open to visitors on Wednesdays and Saturdays from April through October each year. The Morris family was joined here their first few summers by co-tenant Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and other colleagues and friends often visited. After William Morris’s death, his wife Jane and daughter May bought the property. May Morris filled the house with furniture and furnishings from the other Morris family properties (like Red House), and many remain on display there today. The manor house is a wonderful showcase of Arts & Crafts and Pre-Raphaelite artefacts. The surrounding area is famous for inspiring Morris’s art and ideas, and remains a ‘haven of peace and beauty’ for visitors to explore.
