William Samuel Symonds war ein englischer Geologe, dessen tiefes Interesse an der natürlichen Welt durch seine Bekanntschaft mit HE Strickland geweckt wurde. Er entwickelte sich zu einer Schlüsselfigur in lokalen wissenschaftlichen Kreisen und war Mitbegründer mehrerer naturkundlicher Vereine. Symonds dokumentierte eingehend die Geologie der Malvern-Region, wobei "Records of the Rocks" seinen Hauptbeitrag darstellt. Seine vielfältigen Schriften umfassten auch populärwissenschaftliche Werke und historische Romane, die ein reiches Engagement sowohl für wissenschaftliche Entdeckungen als auch für die Kunst des Erzählens widerspiegeln.
