  Discover the work of Glyn Philpot, the sought-after society portraitist who shook off convention to embrace modernism.
  
  The first major exhibition of British artist Glyn Philpot R.A. (1884-1937) in almost 40 years. Bringing together over 80 paintings, drawings and sculptures, many unseen in public for decades, the exhibition charts the artist’s development from Edwardian society portraits to his shift to a radically modernist style in the 1930s.

  Alan Ayckbourn’s dazzling black comedy takes us on a dizzying journey through the looking glass into a woman’s mind.

  
  

  A knock on the head from a garden rake splits Susan’s world in two.
  
  Is she living happily with her devoted husband, charming brother and talented daughter, revelling in her rose-filled garden with its swimming pool and tennis court, and combining her blissful family life with a successful career?
  
  Or is Susan trapped in a suburban existence with her pedantic husband, resentful sister-in-law and estranged son, wrestling with desperate frustration at her aimless life of routine domesticity?
  
  Which of these lives is real? Which one does she want? And is Susan in control of either of them?

  This is a dictionary of a thousand trailblazing women
  
  Beautifully illustrated and featuring a diverse and global cast, Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries is both a Dictionary of Women and a love letter to those women who made history. But it is also an intensely moving story of the forgotten life of the author’s great-grandmother, Lily Watson, a famous and highly-successful novelist in her day who has all but disappeared from the record . . .
  Joyous, celebratory and engaging, this is a book for everyone who has ever wondered how history is made.

  Part of the Weald & Downland Living Muesum's Historic Life Weekends.

  
  

  The design of historic houses is not purely functional; they have decorative aspects also. We can see evidence of this throughout the Museum, which reflects other vernacular buildings of the region. Likewise in material possessions. In other ways, the form has made people deduce something about people who lived in a space, e.g. that they were all short due to the height of doorways, but this is also a point to consider in relation to resources available and building techniques, and factor in a mind-set that was not the same as ours may be today. From experts in historic building techniques, modern craftspeople who focus on the resources as their inspiration and the craft skills at risk.
