In 2014, Arts and Crafts Hammersmith was successful in securing Heritage Lottery funding for a programme of repairs and refurbishments to Emery Walker's home, at 7 Hammersmith Terrace, and William Morris's Kelmscott House.
Both houses look onto the Thames just beyond Hammersmith Bridge and are a ¼ mile away from each other. The two men were great friends and worked together on The Kelmscott Press.
The HLF funding includes initiatives to encourage local community participation in activities to deepen understanding about their lives, work, interests and relationships.

In November 2015, I began work on the Hidden Stories Creative Writing Project in collaboration with teacher Amy Barlow, year 8 and 9 students at Fulham Cross Girls' School and Simon Daykin from Arts and Crafts Hammersmith. Together we're writing stories both true and imagined and discovering the stories the houses hold.

It's completely due to the work of these two women that the house exists as the last surviving example of an authentic Arts and Crafts interior.
