Edward Everard Building Much of the detail of the finished building stemmed from Everard's own ideas. He stipulated a triple archway design for the lowest storey, to echo the nearby St John's Gateway. He was a great admirer of William Morris, the founder of the Arts and Crafts movement. Morris is depicted on the right hand side of the facade with his print style. The Spirit of Literature is represented in the centre and on the left hand side is Gutenberg. On the gable is a female figure symbolising Light and Truth
