 Morris and Burne @-@ Jones then spent time with one of the Firm 's patrons , the wealthy George Howard , 9th Earl of Carlisle and his wife Rosalind , at their Medieval home in <unk> Castle , Cumberland . In July 1874 , the Morris family then took Burne @-@ Jones ' two children with them on their holiday to Bruges , Belgium . However , by this point Morris ' friendship with Rossetti had seriously eroded , and in July 1874 their acrimonious falling out led Rossetti to leave Kelmscott , with Morris ' publisher F.S. Ellis taking his place . With the company 's other partners drifting off to work on other projects , Morris decided to consolidate his own control of the Firm and become sole proprietor and manager . In March 1875 , he paid £ 1000 each in compensation to Rossetti , Brown , and Marshall , although the other partners waived their claims to financial compensation . That month , the Firm was officially disbanded and replaced by Morris & Co , although Burne @-@ Jones and Webb would continue to produce designs for it in future . This accomplished , he resigned his directorship of the Devon Great Consols , selling his remaining shares in the company .
