Nuffield Place, Oxfordshire, England

Originally named Merrow Mount, the house was designed by Oswald Patridge Milne in 1914 for Sir John Bowring Wimble, a shipping magnate. When Sir John Wimble died his widow sold the house to William Morris. Having just been raised to peerage Morris took his title from the local village and renamed the house, Nuffield Place.
