William Samuel Symonds fu un geologo inglese il cui profondo interesse per il mondo naturale fu acceso dalla sua conoscenza con HE Strickland. Divenne una figura chiave nei circoli scientifici locali, co-fondando diversi club di naturalisti sul campo. Symonds documentò ampiamente la geologia della regione di Malvern, con "Records of the Rocks" come suo principale contributo. I suoi diversi scritti comprendevano anche opere scientifiche popolari e romanzi storici, riflettendo un ricco impegno sia nella scoperta scientifica che nell'arte della narrazione.
