Thanks, Manor House - that is very helpful.

I'm glad you are about because I thought of you today :):

For 35 years I have lived twenty minutes away from Wightwick Manor and today was my first visit. Isn't that shameful?

I fancy the interior would have been a little ornate for William Morris' taste; and I found the varying styles a little off-putting. However, the house and gardens were beautiful.

I'm sure I looked at it from a much different perspective than yourself - my only knowledge of William Morris and Pre-Raphaelites are from 19C Studies.

I remember you were disappointed.
