Keats House

The house was originally built as a pair of semi-detached houses known as Wentworth Place. The two houses shared a garden, which retains much of the same layout as it did originally. Keats lodged in one house with his friend, Charles Armitage Brown. In May 2005 Keats House celebrated its 80th anniversary as a museum, and has recently had a complete internal refurbishment supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Artifacts on display include the engagement ring Keats offered to Fanny Brawne and a lock of her hair. The museum runs regular poetry and literary events, and offers a range of educational facilities.
