Griff House, Nuneaton

Title

Griff House, Nuneaton

Description

The Griff House is described as similar to the fictional Dorlcote Mill in The Mill on the Floss. The attic of the Griff House inspired the attic where Maggie would escape to with her wooden doll.
Griff, a spacious two-story red brick farmhouse, was Eliot's childhood home from 1820-1841.
