William Morris News

The petition to safeguard the William Morris Gallery and Vestry House Museum has collected 9,000 signatures. To maintain pressure on the council, the Victorian Society plans a protest rally in Walthamstow on 1 May at 11am (details to be sent by email). Another rally on 5 May will gather at Vestry House Museum at 12 noon. For details and to sign the petition - if you haven't already done so - click the title link.
