  • A William Morris Chair Story, Michael Delahunt's charming account of how he inherited a "Morris Chair" and what he found out about it.
  • The William Morris Society has taken out corporate membership of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings and of the Open Spaces Society (formerly known as the Commons Preservation Society), to give our active support to those campaigns which Morris championed and which continue today.

    Morris's involvement with the SPAB is well known; it was founded by William Morris in 1871. But relatively few people are aware that Morris was active in the Commons Preservation Society as a committee member and frequent public speaker in the late 1870s and early '80s and as a CPS caseworker for Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire almost up to his death.
