Wightwick Manor

Wightwick Manor in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England, is a Victorian house that stands as a testament to the power of art. Commissioned in 1887 by Theodore Mander, a Wolverhampton paint and varnish manufacturer, the house stands adjacent to the Old Manor, a late sixteenth or early seventeenth-century building. Wightwick Manor is a gem of the Aesthetic movement and Arts and Crafts movement, as it was constructed under their influence. The house contains numerous Pre-Raphaelite works of art, including pieces by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Evelyn De Morgan, Edward Burne-Jones, Ford Madox Brown, John Everett Millais, Elizabeth Siddal, and Leonard Shuffrey.

The collection was largely assembled by Sir Geoffrey and Lady Rosalind Mander, who inherited it in 1900. Wightwick Manor is Grade I listed on the National Heritage List for England, a testament to its historical significance and the beauty it holds.
