Kelmscott House

William Morris, founder of the Arts and Craft movement, lived in this beautiful 18th century house on the banks of the River Thames during the last 18 years of his life.

William Morris, founder of the Arts and Craft movement, lived in this beautiful 18th century house on the banks of the River Thames during the last 18 years of his life.

The majority of the William Morris Society’s collection at Kelmscott House comes from the generous legacy of Mrs Marion Helena Stephenson, who also bequeathed the building. The collection contains a number of Kelmscott Press titles and working proofs as well as the only printing press used by Morris left in the country.
