About the Society

The William Morris Society is a charity which aims to perpetuate the memory of one of the greatest men of the Victorian, or any, age. The Society, established in 1955, is a charity which publishes a beautiful Magazine and Journal on all aspects of Morris’s work and runs a varied series of talks and events throughout the year. It encourages the re-publication of Morris’s works and the continued manufacture of his textile and wallpaper designs. The Society’s office and museum are in the lower rooms and Coach House of Kelmscott House, Hammersmith, Morris’s London home for the last eighteen years of his life.
