Since 2001 it has absorbed Little Faringdon, which had been a separate civil parish. The 2011 Census recorded the merged parish's population as 198.[1] Kelmscott Manor{{main|Kelmscott Manor}}Kelmscott Manor is a Cotswold stone house, built in about 1570 during the Great Rebuilding of England and extended late in the 17th century.{{sfn|Sherwood|Pevsner|1974|p=665}} It was the country home of William Morris from 1871 until his death in 1896. He drew great inspiration from the unspoilt authenticity of the house's architecture and craftsmanship, and its organic relationship with its setting.{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}} Kelmscott Manor now belongs to the Society of Antiquaries of London.[2]Morris renamed his London town house Kelmscott House after Kelmscott when he bought it in April 1879. He named his private press, which he started in 1891, Kelmscott Press. Parish churchThe nave of the Church of England parish church of Saint George was built in about 1190 in the transitional style between Norman and Early English, and the chancel is probably of the same date. The building has transepts that were added in about 1260. The clerestory of the nave was added in the 15th century. Many of the windows of the nave and chancel are Perpendicular Gothic additions, including the east window of the chancel.{{sfn|Sherwood|Pevsner|1974|p=665}} The church is a Grade II* listed building.[3] In the churchyard is the tomb of William Morris, designed by Philip Webb. Morris featured the church in his novel News from Nowhere, when in the final part of the book the Guest is taken there for the feast.{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}} St George's parish is now part of the Benefice of Shill Valley and Broadshire, which includes also the parishes of Alvescot, Black Bourton, Broadwell, Broughton Poggs, Filkins, Holwell, Kencot, Langford, Little Faringdon, Shilton and Westwell.[4] In the village next to the pub The Plough Inn are the remains of a 14th or 15th century cross.[5] References1. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadKeyFigures.do?a=7&b=11125089&c=Kelmscott&d=16&e=62&g=6459874&i=1001x1003x1032x1004&m=0&r=1&s=1427738979174&enc=1 |title=Area: Kelmscott (Parish): Key Figures for 2011 Census: Key Statistics |work=Neighbourhood Statistics |publisher=Office for National Statistics |accessdate=30 March 2015}} 2. ^Kelmscott Manor 3. ^{{National Heritage List for England |num=1199126 |desc=Church of St George |grade=II* |accessdate=4 April 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.achurchnearyou.com/benefice.php?B=27/441BF |title=Benefice of Shill Valley and Broadshire |author=Archbishops' Council |publisher=Church of England |year=2010 |accessdate=28 June 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121226072306/http://www.achurchnearyou.com/benefice.php?B=27%2F441BF |archivedate=26 December 2012 |df=dmy-all }} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Cross base and steps approx. 15m N of The Plough Inn|url=https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1053372|website=National Heritage List for England|publisher=Historic England|accessdate=22 October 2017}} 6. ^{{National Heritage List for England |num=1053377 |desc=Manor Farmhouse with attached wall and gate pier |grade=II |accessdate=4 April 2015}} Sources and further reading
