William Morris got tired of seeing old worthy architecture being torn down and cheap money quick buildings being put in their place. The Hammersmith and socialist fed at the time formed a comittee to restore old buildings that were worthy of saving for the countries heritage sights. In that he gained huge support and a large following throughout the British Isles. Even in those olden days the people were not afraid to use any and all ways to win the day. That is why England has so many old and worthy buildings around, which tie the people to the better things of life, and give cultural pride to the peoples.
