We are very pleased to announce that John Hawks, Vice Chair of Wandle Heritage, Merton Priory Trust and the Wandle Industrial Museum, who gave a talk at Redhill Library about William Morris at the beginning of this month, will return in July to speak about William Morris' wife Jane.
Jane Morris was a model and muse to both her husband William Morris and the painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, embodying the Pre-Raphaelite ideal of beauty. She was also a skilled embroiderer, self-taught in ancient embroidery techniques, and achieved great fame in her own right.
This talk will be held on Tuesday 7 July from 5.30pm to 6.30pm. There is no cost, and no advance booking - please turn up in good time before the talk to secure your seat.
