The windows of C.S. Lewis' study (upper left) and bedroom (upper right) at the Kilns, where he lived from 1929 to 1963. It is now on a cul-de-sac called Lewis Close, but in his time it was all by itself in the middle of eight wooded acres.
It was here at the Kilns that Lewis wrote all the Narnia books and his other classics, lived with his wife Joy later in life, and died in 1963. The house plays a significant role in the stories as well. In real life, a few children who were evacuated from London during the WWII bombing came to stay at the Kilns, which is just how The Chronicles of Narnia begin.
