otherwise ultra-modern 1930s design. Step into
the shoes of the lavish Courtaulds and explore
their extravagant lifestyle as you discover the
state of the art technology and unusual features
of their residence. Head out into 19 acres of
award-winning

The Red House
|
 |
The Red House, now a
National Trust Property, was the home of Arts
and Crafts Movement founder William Morris and
his wife Jane. It was built in 1859 by architect
Philip Webb to Morris’s exact specifications.
Red House features lovely
Arts and Crafts
furnishings, including wall paintings and
stained glass windows.
Morris made the house a reflection of his
philosophy in architecture and art, and a
meeting place for the leading artistic figures
of the day, including Dante Gabriel Rosetti,
Edward Burne-Jones, and Ford Madox Brown. |
