Red House in Bexleyheath
in the southern suburbs of London, England is a
key building in the history of the Arts and Crafts
movement and of 19th century British architecture.
It was designed by its owner William Morris and
the architect Philip Webb, with wall paintings and
stained glass by Edward Burne-Jones. The house is
of warm red brick with a steep tiled roof
and an emphasis on natural materials.

The garden
is also significant, being an early example of the
idea of a garden as a series of exterior "rooms".
The house was lived in as a family home for nearly
150 years. In 1952 Ted and Doris Hollamby moved into
Red House: they restored the house and reinstated
many of the original Arts and crafts features.
