WIGHTWICK MANOR

One of Wolverhampton's artistic and historical places, the Wightwick Manor was constructed in 1887. The legacy of the passion for Victorian design and art has become one of the most famous places to visit in Wolverhampton. It is the house of a significant collection of aesthetic arts, crafts, and pre-raphaelite pictures, including an extensive collection of books from the 19th and 20th centuries.

An excellently crafted Wightwick Manor house was established for Samuel Theodore Mander, a partner of the local paint-making and varnish firm. Some elaborated exteriors equipped with timber and deliberate asymmetrical grouping, oriel windows, and the carved quatrefoil became one the mandatory tourist attractions in Wolverhampton. A local paint manufacturer who later became liberal MP, Geoffrey Mander, did something remarkable in 1937.

He persuaded the national trust of the country to accept this 50-year-old house in the nation. The Manor house is one of the noteworthy examples of the influence of William Morris because it considered Morris wallpapers and fabrics for the interior design. In addition, it is also the abode of various and diversified artworks, including the works of Evelyn De Morgan, Edward Burn Jones, Ford Madox Brown, and Elizabeth Siddall.
