The Chief Executive Officer of Suffolk County Council, Deborah Cadman, accompanied by County Councillors for Sudbury, Colin Spence and John Sayers, visited Gainsborough's House this afternoon.
Ms Cadman seemed very impressed with the museum which was having a 'free entry' day. She was suprised to hear that we have almost 200 volunteers! Gainsborough's House receives a grant from the County Council which supports educational and other work.
The picture above shows the visitors with the Chairman of Gainsborough's House, Brian Moody (far right). The group is standing in front of the mulberry tree that was probably already growing in the garden during the 18th century when Gainsborough was alive.
Ms Cadman, who made the trip to Sudbury as part of a rolling programme of visits around the County, also went to the
Town Hall, the Market Hill and the Bridge Project before coming out to Chilton to see the
site of the proposed Chilton Woods Development.
