The Kilns was the Oxford home where C.S. Lewis lived with his brother Warren. Lewis bought the house in 1930, and it remained his principal home for the rest of his life.
The property stood near Headington Quarry, outside central Oxford. Lewis shared it with Warren, who helped manage the household and later became known for his historical writing. The house also became associated with Lewis’s friendships, literary work, and Christian discussions. Joy Davidman lived there with Lewis after their marriage.
The Kilns is sometimes confused with the Eagle and Child pub, where the Inklings often met, or with Magdalen College, where Lewis taught. Those places were important to his Oxford life, but they were not his home. The name “The Kilns” refers specifically to the house and its surrounding property, which has since been connected with organizations preserving Lewis’s legacy.
