The meander pattern of chrysanthemum, carnations, rose and thistle, named 'Cherwell' was taken in part from William Morris designs and invented in 1887 by John Henry Dearle (d. 1932), art director of the woven and printed textile manufacture of Morris & Co., Oxford Street (L. Parry, William Morris Textiles, London, 1983, p. 157, no. 61)
