Welcome to the William Morris Society, founded in 1955 to make the life, work and ideas of William Morris 1834-96 better known. Our purpose is to share knowledge of the life and works of William Morris amongst our members and the wider public. We do this through our museum, publications, events, education programme, library, shop and exhibitions of work by and relating to Morris.
The Society’s small museum is in the coach house and basement rooms of Kelmscott House on the Upper Mall, Hammersmith. William Morris lived at Kelmscott House from 1878 until his death in 1896 and the main section of the house is still a home today.
The coach house is our seasonal exhibition space. We hold events and exhibitions of work by Morris and those inspired by him here but much has happened in this room: Morris started to weave his first carpets here, and when he became active in politics the coach-house became the meeting place for the Hammersmith branch of the Socialist League.
The museum and shop is open to the public on Thursday and Saturday 14.00 to 17.00 with free admission and at other times by appointment. We also have an on-line shop at www.williammorrissocietyshop.com
