choral tradition. In 1847 Thomas
Webster, a member of the Cranbrook
Colony, painted his famous picture, "A Village
Choir" using the Church for his setting and Bow Brickhill
residents as the characters. Prints are available for purchase

This watercolour by
Stanley Roy Badmin (1906-1989) was painted in 1940 under
the "Recording Britain" scheme, which was launched in
that year by the Ministry of Labour with a grant from the
Pilgrim Trust.
It followed on from an idea by Kenneth
Clark and was primarily an unemployment scheme for artists.
The collection of 1,549 watercolours
was given into the care of the Victoria and Albert Museum. |
