What was the name of the Oxford home where C.S. Lewis died in 1963?

C.S. Lewis died at The Kilns, his Oxford home, in 1963.

The Kilns was a house on the edge of Headington Quarry, east of Oxford. Lewis moved there in 1930 and lived there with his brother Warren. The wooded surroundings and nearby pond became closely associated with Lewis’s domestic life and with the circle of friends who visited him.

Lewis died at The Kilns on 22 November 1963, aged 64. The date coincided with the deaths of U.S. President John F. Kennedy and writer Aldous Huxley, an often-noted historical coincidence. Lewis’s funeral took place at Holy Trinity Church, Headington, where he is buried.

The Kilns is sometimes confused with Little Lea, the Belfast house where Lewis spent his childhood. It is also distinct from Magdalen College, Oxford, where he taught for many years. The house has since been connected with organizations preserving and studying Lewis’s life and writings.
