Cookham and Stanley Spencer

Men at the Steel Mill
So today we took a drive up to Cookham, for a walk about and a view of the Stanley Spencer Museum. There was a display of his World War II mural series all about building ships.  It was a great set of paintings, in a restored chapel that was very nice.
.
Happened to get wonderful weather today.  After the gallery, we walked around the town a little (he lived and painted there) and then had a nice pub lunch.  Off tonight to a panto with friends.

The church along the Thames.  Stanley Spencer has a head stone here.
