William Meredith Morris+
He was born at Stanton, Nov. 28, i860. His work is carefully finished, and the tone is large and brilliant. He works mostly on an original model, which, although by no means graceful, shows some strength and insight. He uses Whitelaw’s varnish, or sometimes Whitelaw’s mixed with Caffyn’s. He won the silver medal in the amateur class for a case of violins at the Yorkshire and West Riding Exhibition, 1893; and the gold medal at the same Exhibition in 1895.
