Morris was able to enjoy a life of independent means which were provided by his family’s speculation in copper. He was educated at Marlborough and Exeter College, Oxford. He was much influenced by the aesthetic tone of Gothic art and literature, and by the heady atmosphere of High Church revivalist Anglicanism. He was articled for a time to the church architect, G. E. Street.
