Latest Swanage Seen Art Board, Alfred Palmer ROI

We are delighted the Alfred Palmer Art Panel is now completed; it has been sponsored by David and Paddy Price-Hughes and depicts St. Mary’s Church, where they were married in 1956. It is in memory of her father, Dr de Jersey, well remembered in Swanage.

This panel has been entirely produced locally, the pastel of St. Mary’s Church is owned by David Haysom who has generously allowed us to use the image. The self portrait is the property of the Swanage Museum and likewise they have let us use it. Richard Jeffery photographed these two pictures specially for the Art Trail and we have a lively biography of the artist, Alfred Palmer by renowned playwright & author Jeremy Paul. Paul Angel and Carlotta Barrow worked on the layout.

The Reverend John Wood of St. Mary’s Church approves the panel and to site it on the railings by the steps, seems favourable.

We are so thrilled to have this sponsorship from Cobalt Corporate Finance LLP, the specialist advisors in Technology, Media and Telecoms. You can read their statement below.

Cobalt is delighted to be the major sponsor of Swanage Seen Art Trail which is a great asset to Swanage.
