'''Wightwick Manor''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|w|ɪ|t|ɪ|k}} {{Respell|WIT|ik}}<ref>{{cite web |title=Wightwick Manor Introductory Video |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Azo3SjdtZgg |url-status=live |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/Azo3SjdtZgg |archive-date=2021-12-21 |accessdate=25 May 2020}}{{cbignore}}</ref>) is a [[Victorian era|Victorian]] house in [[Wightwick]] Bank, a suburb of [[Wolverhampton]], [[West Midlands (county)|West Midlands]], England. It was commissioned in 1887 from the architect [[Edward Ould]] by Theodore [[Mander family|Mander]] of [[Mander Brothers]], a Wolverhampton paint and varnish manufacturer. It stands adjacent to the Old Manor, a late sixteenth or early seventeenth-century building that was the original residence on the site.<ref>{{Cite web |title=OLD MANOR HOUSE TO NORTH OF WIGHTWICK MANOR, Non Civil Parish - 1201904 {{!}} Historic England |url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1201904 |access-date=2024-02-27 |website=historicengland.org.uk |language=en}}</ref>

The house is significant as an example of a domestic building constructed, decorated, and furnished under the influence of the [[Aesthetic movement]] and [[Arts and Crafts movement]].<ref name="greeves">{{cite book|last=Greeves |first=Lydia |title=History and Landscape: The Guide to National Trust Properties in England, Wales and Northern Ireland |pages=429 |publisher=National Trust Books |year=2005 |isbn=1-905400-13-6}}</ref> It contains many examples of the works of [[William Morris]] and his firm [[Morris & Co.]], including wall hangings, [[wallpaper]]s, and upholstery; tiles designed by [[William De Morgan]]; and stained glass designed by [[Charles Eamer Kempe|Charles Kempe]]. It also contains [[Pre-Raphaelite]] works of art, including works by [[Dante Gabriel Rossetti]], [[Evelyn De Morgan]], [[Edward Burne-Jones]], [[Ford Madox Brown]], [[John Everett Millais]], [[Elizabeth Siddal]], and [[Leonard Shuffrey]].<ref name=greeves/> 

Much of the collection in the house was assembled by [[Geoffrey Mander|Sir Geoffrey]] and [[Rosalie Glynn Grylls|Lady Rosalind Mander]], who inherited it in 1900. They gave the house and grounds to the [[National Trust]] in 1937, but continued adding to the contents until their deaths in 1962 and 1988 respectively. The property is open to the public, although the Mander family retain the use of an apartment. The Old Manor houses the De Morgan Gallery, an exhibition of the works of Evelyn and William De Morgan.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Gallery at Wightwick {{!}} West Midlands |url=https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/birmingham-west-midlands/wightwick-manor-and-gardens/the-de-morgan-gallery-at-wightwick |access-date=2024-02-27 |website=National Trust |language=en}}</ref>
