The Red House was designed by Philip Webb and was the home of William Morris from 1860 - 1865. It was the only house designed for him. Two of his children were born here and there were lots of riotous parties by all accounts. The garden, like the house, was designed in the Arts and Crafts style. William Morris wanted the garden to be part of the house, through the use of a series of so-called "garden rooms". The house is now owned by the National Trust.
