Mark Bills on Gainborough and Gainsborough's House at Little Waldingfield History Society

Mark Bills

 Mark Bills, art historian and the esteemed Director of Gainsborough's House in Sudbury, was the guest speaker at Little Waldingfield History Society last week.

Andy Sheppard has, as usual, provided a comprehensive account of Mark's talk which can be found under the 'Gainsborough' tab above.

In addition to talking about Thomas Gainsborough's life, Mark took the opportunity to discuss the exciting £8m capital project that the museum is currently planning, and was able to show an architect's impression of what the new gallery might look like (see below).  (I say might since the final plans are not yet completed).

The next LWHS event will be at 7.30 in The Parish Room. Little Waldingfield, on 14th June, when Joy Bounds, a local writer on women’s issues and history, will tell the Society all about the life and times of Joan of Arc - Maid of Orleans and a true French Heroine.
