Interiors

Owned by Edward and Doris Hollamby. Edward, an architect, had lived in the Red House since purchasing it in 1952, until his death in 1999. His scholarship and study of it's history led to authentic restoration after wartime occupation, by the National Assistance Board, as administration offices. The following photographs of the interior of Philips Webb's Red House show the current furnishing and decorations. The debt to Ted Hollamby and his wife Doris, for the splendid and authentic preservation of the house and gardens cannot be overstated,

The dramatic spatial effect of the oak staircase, looking up to the painted pattern of the staircase turret ceiling restored by Ted Hollamby	The settle in the hall with the original decoration yet to be restored (it was painted brown during the war) with 'Niebelungenlied' painted scenes by William Morris.

The original dinning room, now used as a living room, showing Webb's dresser and the exposed brick fireplace set between windows overlooking the orchard.	The first floor drawing room which Morris wished to be "the most beautiful room in the world". Note the Burns-Jones/Rossetti wall painting either side of the settle.
