Jane Alice (`Jenny’) Morris was born at the Red House. Morris named her Alice after his younger sister. She was – at a later date – christened at Bexley Church in Kent.
A celebration dinner was held after the christening at the Red House which was attended by amongst others Rossetti, Swinburne, the Browns, the Marshalls and the Burne-Joneses.
The centre-piece of the celebration was a lavish medieval banquet set out on a large T-shaped table. The men later spent the night on temporary beds set out in the drawing room.
