"The Pond of William Morris Works at Merton Abbey" is an oil painting by Lexden Lewis Pocock (1850–1919), a British artist known for his landscapes and architectural works. The painting captures a scene at Merton Abbey in Surrey, England, which was the site of textile printing works owned by the influential designer, poet, and socialist William Morris (1834–1896). Morris's company, Morris & Co., was renowned for its production of textiles, stained glass, and other decorative arts during the latter part of the 19th century, and Merton Abbey was a key location for the company's textile printing from 1881 until Morris's death.

Pocock's painting is significant as it provides a visual document of the historic site associated with the Arts and Crafts Movement, which Morris championed. The movement emphasized the importance of craftsmanship and the beauty of natural forms and materials, in reaction to the industrialization of the period. In "The Pond of William Morris Works at Merton Abbey," Pocock likely aimed to capture not only the physical setting of the works but also the ethos of the Arts and Crafts Movement, with its focus on the harmony between nature and human industry.

The painting is characterized by its attention to detail, the interplay of natural light, and the reflection of the buildings in the pond's water, which adds a tranquil and contemplative quality to the scene. Pocock's work serves as a historical record of the place and time when Morris's ideas were being actively realized in the production of his famous textiles.

As an artist, Lexden L. Pocock was active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his works were exhibited at various institutions, including the Royal Academy. "The Pond of William Morris Works at Merton Abbey" is one of several works by Pocock that depict British industrial and rural landscapes, reflecting the changing face of Britain during the Industrial Revolution.

The painting is of interest to art historians, scholars of the Arts and Crafts Movement, and admirers of William Morris's work. It contributes to the understanding of the context in which Morris's designs were created and offers insight into the working environment of one of the most influential figures in British design history.
