Scholars-in-Residence at "The Kilns"
If you’re planning to conduct research or take a study leave or sabbatical in the Oxford area, the Study Centre at The Kilns offers a unique opportunity to find your lodging, study and fellowship within an intentional Christian scholarly community.
The C.S. Lewis Foundation established the C.S. Lewis Study Centre at The Kilns and commenced full-time operations there beginning in January of 2006.
It was here that C.S. Lewis himself lived and wrote for the better part of his adult life (from 1930 until his death in 1963). The Study Centre was established with a commitment to advance the rich intellectual, imaginative and spiritual legacy of C.S. Lewis through scholarship, reflection, writing and vibrant discussion within the historic setting of The Kilns.
The Kilns offers both short and long term residence opportunities to qualified visiting faculty, clergy, independent scholars, artists and advanced graduate students for varying lengths of residence, ranging from one week to ten months. Our Resident Director manages the Study Centre on-site, ensuring proper oversight and maintenance of the home.
Located on Lewis Close in Headington, at the end of a cul-de-sac adjacent to the Henry Stevens/C.S. Lewis Nature Reserve just outside Oxford, The Kilns is readily accessible to the City Centre and Colleges of Oxford University by both bus and bicycle.
Fees are based upon room selection and the length of stay. Long term resident fees are determined per month; short term resident fees are based upon weekly rates individually quoted.
