Discover the iconic, atmospheric home of William Morris, the founder of the Arts and Crafts Movement and his wife Jane. It was the centre of the Pre-Raphaelite circle. Completed in 1860, Red House is a building of extraordinary architectural and social significance. It is the only house commissioned, created and lived in by William Morris. It was described by Edward Burne-Jones as 'the beautifullest place on earth'. Red House boasts original features and furniture by Morris and designer Philip Webb, stained glass and paintings by Burne-Jones and embroidery by Jane and Elizabeth Burden. Coupled with bold architecture and a garden designed to 'clothe the house'. Subject to minimum numbers.
