\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On 9th May a group of Bristol Soroptimists enjoyed a very convivial day visit to Kelmscott Manor (a grade l listed house dating from around 1570) and Buscot Park, both situated near the river Thames and Lechlade. The visit was beautifully organised by Lucy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kelmscott Manor was the inspirational Cotswold retreat of William Morris and his family – poet and craftsman from 1871 to his death in 1896. He described Kelmscott as \u2018heaven on earth\u2019, with good reason. He signed a joint lease for the property with his friend and colleague Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the Pre-Raphaelite artist.<\/p>\n

The house contains an outstanding collection of the possessions and works of \"\"<\/a>Morris, as well as of his family and associates (Benson, Edward Burne-Jones, Rossetti and Webb among them) that includes furniture, original textiles, pictures and paintings, carpets, ceramics and metalwork. It holds a beautiful English style garden which is evocative of Morris\u2019 works.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Buscot Park was built around the 1780s for a local landowner, Edward Loveden Townsend and purchased in 1889 by Lord Faringdon\u2019s great grandfather. The house holds the Faringdon Collection (with works by Rembrandt, Rossetti and Burne-Jones\u2019 famous series, The Legend of the Briar Rose). Harold Peto was commissioned to design the famous Italianate water gardens.<\/p>\n

The choice of venues for our visit was excellent and a very worthwhile trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
