We are in the process of organising a visit to Kelmscott Manor near Lechlade in May 2022. This will be for you to travel to in your own transport. We will be sending out futher details nearer the date. 

Kelmscott Manor was the inspirational Cotswold retreat of William Morris, Victorian textile designer, poet, novelist & Father of the Arts and Crafts Movement.

Described as a ‘Heaven on Earth’ by Morris, he loved the Manor house and adjoining farm buildings as a work of true craftmanship, totally unspoilt and unaltered, and in harmony with the surrounding countryside.

Visitors today can still experience the beauty and seclusion that inspired many of William Morris’s most important designs and writings as well as influencing his ideas on conservation for both the built and natural environments.

On display is an outstanding collection of possessions and works of Morris, as well as his family and associates.
