Iconic Arts and Crafts home of William and Jane Morris and the centre of the Pre-Raphaelite circle.
Red House is open for pre-booked guided tours. Read on to find out everything you need to know about your visit to Red House and how to book your tickets. To help keep everyone safe, all visitors need to pre-book their visit.
The only house commissioned, created and lived in by William Morris, founder of the Arts & Crafts movement, Red House is a building of extraordinary architectural and social significance.
Designed by Philip Webb and completed in 1860, it was described by Edward Burne-Jones as 'the beautifullest place on earth'. The rooms at Red House give a unique view of William and Janey's life and the establishment of what later became Morris & Co.
Red House boasts original features and furniture by Morris and Philip Webb, stained glass and paintings by Burne-Jones and embroidery by Jane and Elizabeth Burden. Coupled with bold architecture and a garden designed to 'clothe the house', they add up to a fascinating and rewarding place to visit.
