The project title Magic Casements comes from Keats’s Ode to a Nightingale, which was written in the garden at Wentworth Place in the Spring of 1819. The aim of the project was to restore the internal fabric of the house, creating a living space that Keats would have recognised and providing an authentic example of Regency style.
As the history and magic of Keats House is unlocked, his poems and letters will be used as a reference point, enabling visitors to revisit the time when Keats heard the nightingale.
