William Morris’ Wallpapers
Page 6
Two other houses owned by the National Trust in England are available today to visit that have extensive William Morris interiors. Regrettably, The National Trust does not allow photography in its properties now, after some security issues, so we can only show exterior views.
“Standen” in Sussex has many original Morris wallpapers and fabrics throughout the house. The Garden front.
“Standen” was built 1894. East Grinstead, Sussex, England. Owned by The National Trust.
Daffodil fabric. Used in the Morning Room at “Standen”.
“Standen” in East Grinstead, Sussex, was also designed by Philip Webb. It was built in 1894 in the English Queen Anne style of domestic architecture, which included the exterior use of brick, tile-hanging and wood. It is a delightful place to visit, set on a light-filled hillside, with wonderful gardens, a fern grotto and a conservatory. There is also a tea room and gift shop for visitors to the house.
