Wells (1867-1956), a cabinet maker and disciple of William Morris, lectured, taught and wrote extensively during the later phase of the Arts and Crafts movement in Britain. His typescript autobiography is included in the archive which follows him through an apprenticeship in London's City Road with early practice as a cabinet maker before working alongside William Lethaby at the Central School and subsequently leading the cabinet department at the Shoreditch Technical Institution in London.
