About William Morris:
From 1848 to 1856, the Gallery’s current building, formerly known as The Water House, was the family home of the famous English designer, craftsman, writer, conservationist and socialist, William Morris (1834-1896). Morris has lived here for eight years...
Morris was most recognised in his lifetime for his contribution to Victorian poetry and is the author of many poetical works, the most famous of which are The Earthly Paradise and The Defence of Guinevere. He also wrote novels and made an ambitious translation of the Icelandic Sagas. William Morris also was known a British textile designer, poet, artist, fantasy writer, and socialist activist associated with the British Arts and Crafts movement.
It was in the 1870s that Morris really mastered designing for wallpaper, a period during which he created many of his most enduring designs, such as 'Larkspur' (1872), 'Jasmine' (1872), 'Willow' (1874), 'Marigold' (1875), 'Wreath' and 'Chrysanthemum' (both 1876–87), etc.

William Morris Gallery Museum is set in Lloyd Park in Walthamstow in London, sitting comfortably in the walls of a Georgian house. Built in the 1740s, the grade II* listed building was William Morris’ family home from 1848 to 1856 and now serves as the only public Gallery devoted to William Morris. Following a major redevelopment, the Gallery re-opened in August 2012.
Address: William Morris Gallery, Lloyd Park, Forest Road, London E17 4PP.
