Friday 15th November 2019 I went to the William Morris Gallery with my Nanny Lynn we travelled there on the 123 Bus. The William Morris Gallery is housed in a Georgian house, built in the 1740s and set in Lloyd Park in Walthamstow, in north-east London. The grade II* listed building was Morris’s family home from 1848 to 1856. The only public Gallery devoted to William Morris, it reopened in August 2012 following a major redevelopment. The building is a fine example of Georgian domestic architecture dating from about 1744 (the date scratched on a brick found in the upper east wall). Records indicate that there was a house on the site – or perhaps on the moated ‘island’ to the rear of the present house – as far back as the fifteenth century. The existing house was variously known in its earlier history as The Winns or Water House, the latter name deriving from the ornamental moat in the gardens at the back of the house. Afterwards we went to South Woodford and for lunch we went to Nandos where I had my usual dish of butterfly chicken, chips and garlic bread and for dessert I had a Choc-A-Lot Cake which was delicious. Below are some pictures from my day and also if you like reading my blog please comment.

Another great place to visit, Nathan. Did you do any of the stained glass puzzles and brass rubbings? The grounds are particularly lovely in the summer. I nearly lost Sid there last time we went there! xx
