The Trout is only a short distance from Kelmscott, leased by William Morris, who started the arts and craft movement, and for a time, Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

My great grandfather emigrated from Bampton, located another 2-3 miles east of Kelmscott.

further Down the river, 10-12 miles, is another Inn called The Trout, in Godstow on the north side of Oxford. It was one of C.S. Lewis’ favorite Inns.

The area is dense with British history, past and modern!

Wow, neat! Morris of course wound up married to Jane Burden, one of the favorite models of some of the PRB painters, especially DG Rossetti.
