Behind this unassuming blue plaque lies the legacy of two extraordinary artists. The William and Evelyn De Morgan Plaque, here on Old Church Street, commemorates the lives and works of William and Evelyn De Morgan, a husband-and-wife duo who left an indelible mark on the world of art. William De Morgan, a renowned ceramic artist and novelist, and Evelyn De Morgan, a celebrated painter, shared this very address. The plaque, erected in 1937, stands as a testament to their creative spirit. The inscription reads: “WILLIAM DE MORGAN CERAMIC ARTIST AND NOVELIST (1839-1917) AND HIS WIFE EVELYN DE MORGAN ARTIST (1855-1919) LIVED & DIED HERE”. Imagine the vibrant lives they must have led within these walls, their home buzzing with artistic energy. William, with his intricate tile designs and fantastical tales, and Evelyn, with her Pre-Raphaelite inspired paintings, left a rich legacy. The William and Evelyn De Morgan Plaque serves as a reminder of their enduring impact on the art world, a silent tribute to a couple united by love and a shared passion for creativity.
