Inheriting from his father a significant fortune made in business during the Napoleonic Wars, Walter was educated at Eton and Balliol College, Oxford, before going on the Grand Tour and then entering upon a long parliamentary career. As Liberal MP for Plymouth (1861-74) and Liberal Unionist for Skipton (1886-1900), he was particularly committed to the co-operative movement. Much of his time was spent at his Malham Tarn estate where he entertained a number of notable guests, including John Ruskin, Charles Darwin and Charles Kingsley. It was there that Kingsley was inspired to write The Water Babies. Morrison died, unmarried, on 18 December 1921 and was buried at Kirkby Malham." External links
