Special guided visit, 7 September 2027

William Morris first saw Kelmscott Manor in 1871 and was enchanted by “the loveliest haunt of ancient peace”. Morris passionately loved all aspects of Kelmscott, and the Manor remained his country retreat until his death in 1896. Our guides will reveal that even the most recent repairs still follow our founders’ philosophy of conservative repair, using local materials and traditional craft building techniques. Guests will also be encouraged to visit nearby St John the Baptist, Inglesham, one of Morris’s favourite churches.
