The William Morris Society
The William Morris Society’s small museum and exhibition space is based in the lower floors of Kelmscott House in Hammersmith, William Morris’ London home for the last eighteen years of his life. This 18th century riverside house is one of the most significant of Morris’ homes. While living here he set up the Kelmscott Press, his textile production works at Merton Abbey, established the Hammersmith branch of the Socialist League in the Coach House, where speakers included George Bernard Shaw and W B Yeats, began carpet weaving, and continued his innovating approach to design, printing and dyeing techniques.
