The Red House designed by William Morris

William Morris designed the Red House in1859. The Red House is constructed of warm red brick with a steep tiled roof and it was built using many natural materials. The garden is an example of a garden as a series of exterior "rooms".
The National Trust aquired the Red House in 2002 and is carrying out restoration and research to restore the house as closely as possible to its original condition. It has some rare examples of William Morris wallpapers and fabrics.
