Life isn't about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself'

George Bernard Shaw
If you cannot mould yourself entirely as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking?

Local artist Clive Madgwick remembered.



A Summer's Day (Great Waldingfield)

 At their last meeting, held on a foggy and frosty night in January, Little Waldingfield History Society welcomed Guy Madgwick and his sister, Fiona Raymond to the Parish Room.  Guy spoke about his father, the dentist turned artist Clive Madgwick, who lived in Little Waldingfield for many years from the mid 1960s.

Members of the Society bought along their prints and original works of art by Clive and a pop up Madgwick art gallery was created at the meeting which comprised over 40 paintings and prints of all shapes and sizes.  Two local scenes are reproduced here.

A full report of the meeting from Andy Sheppard can be read by clicking on the 'Clive Madgwick' tab above.

The next LWHS event will be on 17th February at 7.30 in The Parish Room Little Waldingfield, when Robert Leader will present ‘In search of Secret Suffolk’, an illustrated talk with over 100 images that covers the heritage and history of Suffolk.
Andy writes:-
 ‘Focusing on abbeys, castles, guildhalls & stately homes, Robert will take us on a fantastic journey that follows the course of major rivers to build a comprehensive picture of the county of Suffolk as a whole - it sounds amazing and we can’t wait.’
