Hencroft
The extensive work of William Morris and his Arts & Crafts Movement is well documented in the National Trust's portfolio, not least in his own home, the Red House in London.
He was a 19th-century influencer, so to speak, at Hencroft Works in Leek, where his friend Thomas Wardle taught and experimented with dyeing fabrics and wallpapers with natural inks. This Hencroft design from the National Trust Papers collection is an embroidered repeat pattern with stylized cowslips - discovered at Wardle's sewing school in Leek and beautifully implemented as a wallpaper design in eight stunning colorways.
