William Morris (1834-1896) was a revolutionary force in Victorian Britain. His work dramatically changed the fashions and ideologies of the era and he remains as influential and important today as he was in his own time.
The William Morris Society is a charity and was founded in 1955 to share knowledge of the life and works of William Morris amongst our members and the wider public.
The Society is based in the Coach House and Lower Rooms of Kelmscott House, Hammersmith, Morris’s London home for the last eighteen years of his life and where there is now a museum dedicated to him.
The variety of Morris’s ideas and activities bring together those who are interested in him as a designer, craftsman, poet, and socialist, who admire his robust and generous personality, his creative energy and his courage. His ideas on how we live and how we might live, on creative work, leisure and machinery, on ecology and conservation, on politics and the place of art in our lives remain as stimulating now as they were over a century ago.
By leaving a gift in your will to the William Morris Society, you ensure that his legacy, in design, in reform, in art, and in craftsmanship, continues to thrive for generations to come.
