	VICTORIAN TURKISH BATHS: Private houses: Wightwick Manor, Wolverhampton (Theodore Mander) - - - -
		The Victorian Turkish bath at Wightwick Manor is one of only two which are known to have survived in a privately built country house.
		Wightwick (pronounced wit-wick) was built in 1887 for Theodore Mander who, with his brother Charles, was joint owner of the family paint and varnish firm, Mander Brothers.
		It seems highly likely, therefore, that when he was commissioned to instal one of his Convoluted stoves at Wightwick, he advised the architect that having a hot water bath in one of the rooms would preclude the provision of the very dry air which is required in a Turkish bath.

		In keeping with such buildings of the late 16th and early 17th centuries, the house was not built to a grand scale, certainly not grand enough to satisfy Mr Mander.
		Make your way to the main entrance of the Manor (behind the Old Manor House) at least a few minutes before your timed tour is due to begin.
		What really drew me to Wightwick, though, was the chance to see some William de Morgan ceramics, and I was not disappointed.

		For lovers of the Arts and Crafts movement, Wightwick Manor is an absolute delight, for not only is there a garden by Thomas Mawson but the added enjoyment of a house which has outstanding examples of the work of William Morris.
		In 1899 Alfred Parsons was engaged to advise on the garden at Wightwick although little is known of his influence at that time.
		By 1904 Thomas Mawson had submitted plans for alterations and improvements to the garden, so despite the house being a late Victorian design, the garden is very much a 20th century one, being Edwardian in layout.
