Andy's National Trust Travel Blogs: Nuffield Place, home of William Morris car maker
There are 500+ places of interest in the UK under the National Trust banner and I will be attempting to visit as many as I can, reporting as I do all the important stuff relative to accessibility.

In this episode I visit NUFFIELD PLACE, the home of Lord and Lady Nuffield, otherwise known as William Morris of the car name fame. He purchased the home and garden and made it his, by extending and modifying it to suit his needs.

Career wise he started as an apprentice bicycle repairer and moved into making them when his request for a pay rise was rejected. Later, he went into making cars and built the name of Morris around the Cowley area of Oxfordshire.
