| He was not an OF, but we are proud of the School's links with William Morris. Born locally he spent time between school (Marlborough College) and university (Exeter College, Oxford) studying with the then Headmaster, Rev. Frederick B Guy. Morris continued to maintain links with the School and there are a number of letters in the archives and a fine example of Morris stained glass in the Skilbeck window behind the organ in the Chapel. |
