Kelmscott Manor
Kelmscott Manor is a Grade I listed Tudor farmhouse adjacent to the River Thames, dating from 1570 and situated on the edge of the village of Kelmscott, near Lechlade. William Morris (designer, writer and socialist) chose it as his summer home, signing a joint lease with Pre-Raphaelite painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti in 1871. Morris loved the house as a work of true craftsmanship, unspoilt, unaltered and in harmony with the village and the surrounding countryside. Visitors can enjoy much the same atmosphere now, around the house, barns, garden and stream. The site now has a shop and restaurant.
