News & Blog William Morris The Garden at Wightwick Manor

The Garden at Wightwick Manor

8th May 2015

On a recent visit to Wightwick Manor, Wolverhampton it was a beautiful day and I went for a stroll in the beautiful gardens.

Wightwick Manor was built in 1887 for Theodor Mander and is a beautiful house filled with Arts and Crafts treasures.

The wonderful footbridge over the road, Wightwick Bank.

Wightwick Manor is a must see National Trust property.

There are many Pre-Raphaelite treasures including my favourite Edward Burne – Jones painting, Love Among the Ruins, which is just wonderful.

The house has many William Morris fabrics and wallpapers including Pimpernel in the billiard room

Open
Introducing Daisy, our latest William Morris licensed design 🌿 Daisy was the second wallpaper William Morris designed, but the first to be produced in 1864, so it remains a special design to every Morris fan ✨ It must have been a favourite of Morris himself, as embroideries of Daisy were used to decorate at the stunning Red House, Morris's home in Bexleyheath. We hope you love Daisy as much as we do! Available now on our website, in a limited range of products, fabric is coming soon! ☺️ - - - #williammorris #williammorrisfabric #williammorrisfabrics #fabric#onlinefabricstore #preraphaelite #williammorrisdesign#upholsteryfabric #curtainfabric #daisy
