I wonder if you saw the programme on BBC4 last night entitled Heritage! The Battle for Britain’s Past (Episode 1). It was the first part in a three-part series and had a very interesting section about John Ruskin and William Morris. The programme highlighted William Morris’s role in the foundation of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. The episode will be repeated next Tuesday at 11 30 pm. It is also on BBC iplayer at the moment.
Last night there was also the first instalment of another three-part series about the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (also available on BBC iplayer). They reached the point in the history of the PRB where John Ruskin’s intervention of a favourable critique of the work of the PRB counteracted the previously negative reception they had suffered from the press.
Pannal in the snow.

Gorgeous Willow Bough blue on the table paired with layers of beautiful @burleighpottery plates 🤍 Always a stunning design to have on the table, did you know it was first produced in 1887, his daughter May Morris wrote of the design, “We were walking one day by our little stream that runs into the Thames and my father pointed out the detail and soon after the paper was done.” We love the behind the design info, painting a beautiful picture of how he was so inspired by nature 🌿
