Wightwick Manor
Wightwick Manor (pronounced "Wittick") is a victorian-style manor in Wolverhampton from the local Mander family, with some inspiration from Oscar Wilde's 'House Beautiful' lecture given in Wolverhampton in 1884 and, more generally, a specimen of the Arts and Crafts movement. It is currently under the care of the national trust.
Gallery
We visited the site with Camilo on 28 April (2018).
Elena with the manor.
The main door.
Inside. The dining room.
Julia as a Victorian gentleman.
The most impressive is the exterior, not only the facade.
But also the roof and in particular the chimneys.
From the gardens.
Julia pausing.
Beautiful timberwork and windows.
You can reach the site from the Wolverhampton canals.
And meet impressive industrial-era bridges such as this one.
Or this giant, closer to the center.
