William Morris & Co (Westminster) (about 1901-1958)

Stained glass firm established in Westminster, London by William Thomas Morris (1874-1944), son of Richard Morris (died about 1901). Also known as William Morris Studios, partly as a way of distinguishing the firm from the more famous Morris & Co. William Morris had worked with his father and brothers, and their firm, Morris & Sons, also continued until the 1950s. The firm became part of the Pollard Group but their premises in Rochester Row were bombed in 1941. F.W. Cole re-established the firm in 1946.

Richard MORRIS, the original Glass worker in the family was born in Lambeth in early 1842, and died in January 1911. He worked in the field of glass design and decorative glass all his working life. He is my distant cousin, through his mother's line.

MY paper on this firm, entitled 'The Other William Morris' was published in the BSMGP Journal. It was at that date the only published piece on WMW and I think it should be cited.
Thank you
