To bring the life and works of this remarkable but largely forgotten artist to the attention of the wider community, a permanent exhibition was opened in 2023.
Before and after
This exhibition summarises Rosemary’s life and extraordinary artistic achievements. Models reveal how fresco and stained glass are made. Some of her remarkable range of drawings and paintings are shown, including wartime artwork and flower paintings. Her spiritual, caring nature and brilliant artistry shine through.
The exhibition was opened on Saturday 25th March 2023 by Rosemary’s niece, Jenny, following a talk on Rosemary’s life and works by team member Naomi Courtenay-Luck (Jenny’s daughter).

The exhibition was made possible following a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
