Kelmscott Manor from the lane
another of the cottages on the estate, Garden Cottage
Friends walk along the road to Kelmscott Manor
Pictures taken inside Kelmscot Manor are not available for commercial
use. It opens to the public in Summer on Wenesdays and Saturdays
The manor dates from around 1570, with a late 17th-century wing, and
is listed Grade I, but the interior
was extensivley refurnished by William Morris and his associates after
he bought the house with
Dante Gabriel Rossetti in 1871
The lighting fitting was designed to cast a shadow on the ceiling

across the croquet lawn. I'm not sure this was a croquet lawn when
Morris lived here
The peacocks are dull - I'm sure they would have been polished in
the old days
