Stanmore Hall

  • House & Family History: Stanmore is a Victorian house in a Tudor castle style, with gables and a tower. It has a core of 1843-47, with additions and alterations of 1890, during which Morris & Co. redecorated the interiors.

    Collections: A Morris & Co. tapestry, "The Failure of Sir Gawain and Sir Ewain to Achieve the Holy Grail," designed by Edward Burne-Jones and woven by Morris & Co. for Stanmore in 1894 as part of a set of six (this was the first in the series), was sold at Christie's on June 9, 2004 for £386,050. The set, commissioned by the Australian mining millionaire William Knox D'Arcy for the Dining Room at Stanmore, was called by Nicola Redway "one of the finest artistic achievements of the Arts and Crafts movement."
