The William Morris Society was founded in 1955 to make the work and ideas of William Morris more widely known, in the belief that they are as important today as in his lifetime. Over the last sixty year the Society has built up a wonderful collection of designs, wallpapers, textiles, Kelmscott Press books, ceramics and archive material. The Society’s collection is an invaluable aspect of the Society’s work, especially for education and interpretation, enabling successive generations to discover the rich and diverse achievements of Morris and his circle.
Please join us as we explore some of the key objects from the William Morris Society’s collection as we celebrate seventy years since the Society’s foundation.
