(Oxford, England)—The Kilns—the home where C.S. Lewis lived from 1930 to 1963 and wrote The Screwtape Letters and The Chronicles of Narnia—is being designated as a historic landmark.
Today, the Kilns is a Christian study center.
According to a report in the Christian Post, the Oxfordshire Blue Plaques Board will be unveiling a special blue plaque at The Kilns on Saturday, July 26, to mark Lewis' contribution to scholarship and literature.
"We have very stringent rules and only award blue plaques for the highest level of achievement," said Eda Forbes, secretary to the Oxfordshire Blue Plaques, which recognizes famous residences in Oxford with a permanently-installed plaque.
The also report noted the estate still houses the wardrobe that inspired the Narnia series.
