Major CS Lewis retired from the military and joined them at “The Kilns” in 1932 it would be his home until 1963. CS Lewis is equally well know for his classic Children's Stories such as The Lion , The Witch & The Wardrobe (Narnia) as well as being a famous Christian apologetic. For tourists: The House is not near the centre of historic Oxford. It is on the outskirts in an area known as Risinghurst. Head out of Oxford on the A420 or London Road. When you get to the complex Headington Roundabout (There's a big McDonalds) turn south on the ring road and almost immediately turn left at the traffic lights into Risinghurst , turn right onto Kiln Lane , Lewis Close is forth on the right. Please respect the locals, probably easiest to park in Kiln Lane. Alternatively armed with a map you can park in Shotover Park & walk down to the Kilns. C.S.Lewis is back in th news because of efforts to save his local pub, the Ampleforth Arms in Risinghurst, Oxford. We've just seen the movie Shadowlands which as rekindled our interest. Warnie & Jack share the same tomb in the graveyard at The Holy Trinity Church, Headington Quarry just 10 minutes away by foot.
