Nestled in the quiet Oxford suburb of Headington, The Kilns was the beloved home of C.S. Lewis from 1931 until his death in 1963. More than just a residence, this charming house was Lewis's refuge for study, reflection, hospitality, and writing. It was here that he penned many of his most influential Christian works, including much of The Chronicles of Narnia, Mere Christianity, and numerous essays that continue to inspire believers around the world. Surrounded by peaceful gardens, woodland paths, and a tranquil pond, visitors can experience the setting that nurtured Lewis's imagination, faith, and literary genius. A visit to The Kilns offers a rare opportunity to step into the everyday world of one of the twentieth century's most beloved Christian authors and gain a deeper appreciation for the life and environment that shaped his enduring legacy.
