Exploring Watts Gallery, Compton

Here are a selection of images taken on today’s most enjoyable walk organised by our Vice President, Chris Howard. With 21 of us, Chris organised 3 separate groups who all set off in different directions . We heard all about George Frederick Watts, his wife Mary how the Watts Gallery Artists’ Village has evolved over the years.

Limnerslease – the name comes from ‘Limner’ β€” the Old English word for artist β€” and ‘lease’ β€” to glean hope for the future.

After our leisurely Sunday stroll in he sunshine, some of us then popped into the Tea Room. You are right Chris, this is a fascinating little Surrey Hills treasure.
