Liberal MP John Mander had been left this 1887 timber framed house by his father Theodore. Taking inspiration from a lecture on ‘the House Beautiful’ by Oscar Wilde, Theordore and his wife Flora have decorated its interiors with the designs of William Morris. It is a house with a pre-Raphaelite art collection and William Morris interior designs. Outside there are formal and informal gardens and orchard. Having given the house to the National Trust, Geoffrey & Rosalie became its live-in-curators, opening the house to the public and adding to its contents.
