Winterbourne House is a restored Arts and Crafts style house built in 1903. It is owned by the University of Birmingham and opened to the public in 2010.
The seven acre garden was designed by Joseph Lancaster Ball. John Nicholson, a later owner introduced a Japanese tea house and bridge. In 1944 the garden became the University Botanic Garden and we will have a conducted tour.
A light lunch is booked for 1pm followed by a 15 minute walk to the Barber Institute of Fine Arts.
The coach will collect us at 5pm.

Kelmscott Manor was the retreat home of William Morris which he described as ‘Heaven on Earth’. He celebrated the Manor House and adjoining farm buildings as the work of true craftsmanship and the beauty and peace of the surroundings inspired many of his most important designs and writings.
The property has recently reopened after extensive conservation and renovation work which has enhanced the atmosphere of the house as a home, rather than a museum.  
Our visit to Kelmscott Manor starts with coffee, tea and biscuits followed by a guided tour of the house in groups of ten.
Following the tour, lunch is provided in the restaurant.
After lunch the property and grounds can be explored at leisure.
