Nuffield Place
Nuffield Place in Oxfordshire was the home of William Morris, Viscount Nuffield — the car manufacturer whose philanthropy transformed Oxford and endowed countless hospitals and colleges. The house is a fascinating time capsule: modest in scale for a man of his extraordinary wealth, and filled with the personal possessions and comfortable 1930s furnishings the Morrises actually used rather than simply displayed. It offers an unusually human portrait of one of Britain's greatest industrial philanthropists.
