a glimpse inside The Red House

top left: bird design by Webb on the window in the passage
bottom left: Morris had no mantelpieces on fireplaces because people put things on them
top right: 'The Wedding Feast' mural by Burne-Jones in the drawing room
bottom right: French inscription which loosely translated = 'true love never dies' (Qui bien aime, tard oublie'
We had a very interesting tour of The Red House by a knowlegeable guide. Some rooms are decorated with modern reproductions of Morris wallpapers. The house is sparsely furnished as many pieces were later taken to Kelmscott Manor by Morris and his friend Rossetti.

You've prompted me, by your interest, to make a little collage of some items which interested me inside The Red House. We shall be en route to Glasgow tomorrow to see Clare so I've decided to forward post now for that day - thanks!
