A DESCENDANT of the architect of William Morris’s Bexleyheath home has returned to the house to help celebrate its 150th anniversary.
Susan Law-Webb, great great niece of Philip Webb was taking part in a design fair at Red House, in Red House Lane, with artists whose work was inspired by Morris’s arts and crafts movement.
Mrs Law-Webb, who is an artist, opened the fair, the the gardens of the house, now owned by the National Trust.
A number of artists, designers and crafts people from London and the south were showcasing their work.
Morris lived at Red House from 1857, for the first five years of his marriage to Jane Burden.
Patrick Joel, custodian of the house, said the fair reflected “the spirit and ethos of the place in homage to the legacy of Morris and his circle at Red House”.
