THE Bexley home of William Morris re-opens to the public next week after a winter break.

Conservation work at Red House, Red House Lane, Bexleyheath, has been carried out during the winter.

In previous years, hidden paintings and a letter from the house's architect Philip Webb to Morris, have been discovered during the winter conservation work.

Members of the Friends of Red House will be back on duty from February 15, acting as tour guides, receptionists and gardeners.

Tours of the house and gardens must be booked in advance.
