Kelmscott Manor

Situated on the edge of the Cotswolds, Kelmscott Manor was the historic summer home of William Morris: designer, writer, and political activist. Owned by the Society of Antiquaries of London, Kelmscott Manor is open to visitors every year from April to October. During the open season, we offer Guided Tours designed for groups of over 25 every Wednesday (subject to availability). The fascinating collections at Kelmscott Manor span more than 300 years and reflect the history, ideas and creative legacy of those who lived and worked here. Join our knowledgeable guides as they take you back in time through the Manor's interiors.

Learn about how the Morris family lived at Kelmscott and experience the place Morris called "heaven on earth". Discover more about William and May Morris and their wider Arts and Crafts circle: Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edward Burne-Jones, Philip Webb and more. The tour will include collection highlights interwoven with narratives about the Morris family at Kelmscott. We invite groups interested in a self-led visit to attend one of our public open days, which take place Thursday to Saturday during our Open Season. Coaches are only welcome by prior arrangement.
