Wightwick Manor, Wolverhampton added to National Trust in West Midlands by D0c.Col on 17/04/2025

Nestled in the heart of Wolverhampton, England, stands Wightwick Manor—a breathtaking Victorian masterpiece. This architectural gem, with its rich Arts and Crafts design, is a time capsule of Pre-Raphaelite beauty, brimming with William Morris textiles and wallpapers.
Built in 1887 and expanded in 1893, Wightwick Manor was the vision of Samuel Theodore Mander, a member of a prominent Wolverhampton family. The Manders had made their fortune in the paint and varnish industry, shaping the city's industrial and cultural landscape for generations.
The family's roots in Wolverhampton date back to the 18th century, when Thomas Mander moved to the town from Warwickshire. His son, Benjamin Mander, founded a japanning and tinplate works in 1773 and over the years, the business flourished, evolving into the renowned Mander Brothers paint company. By 1879, Samuel Theodore Mander and his cousin Charles had become company directors, continuing the family's legacy.
Wightwick's history stretches back much further. The oldest building on the estate, the Old Manor, dates to the early 17th century, built by Francis Wightwick and his son, Alexander. The Wightwick family had lived on this land since at least the 13th century and had taken their name from the estate owning it until 1815, when it was sold to the Hinkes family. Samuel Theodore Mander re-acquired the estate in 1887, once more breathing new life into its legacy.
Inspired by the Tudor Revival style, Theodore commissioned architect Edward Ould to design the manor. The result was a stunning fusion of craftsmanship and artistry—timber-framed exteriors, intricate carvings, and grand fireplaces—all reflecting the ideals of the Arts and Crafts movement.

The Manor is in the middle of a suberb in Wolverhampton, so if you haven't got NT membership you can park just outside in one of the streets. TOAL is right next to the property so Line of Sight is good, just watch out for the Karen's and Ken's.
