Become a Friend of Kelmscott Manor and play an invaluable part in supporting the work we do.




Friends of Kelmscott Manor support our learning and outreach programme, preserve the historic and natural environment, conserve the accredited collection and help us acquire new objects relevant to the Manor’s collection.
Kelmscott Manor was the beloved country retreat of William Morris, his ‘heaven on earth’, and a constant source of creative inspiration. Today the property and collections are of international importance. The Manor is owned by the Society of Antiquaries of London, an independent charity charged with managing and protecting the property and its unique and fragile collections. As well as giving you access to a great range of benefits, your Friends subscription will help to support the vital conservation work required to safeguard the future of Kelmscott Manor.
