Keats House (also known as Wentworth Place)

Introduction

Threatened with demolition in the 1920s, the house was purchased and opened to the public as a memorial to John Keats on 9 May 1925. In 2009 Keats House re-opened following refurbishment of both house and garden, the latter redesigned in keeping with the Regency period of Keats' day.
