Kelmscott Manor has remained virtually unaltered since it was enlarged later in the 17th century. It was the summer home of William Morris from 1871 to 1896. The house contains an outstanding collection of the possessions and works of Morris, his family and associates including furniture, original textiles, pictures, carpets, ceramics and metalwork. The building itself is unusual in that none of the external walls are truly vertical, and water chutes are necessary to throw rainwater from the roof away from the face of the walls.
