Visit to Sidney Sime Gallery - Amended date -30 March 2022
Wednesday, 30th March 2022
2.00pm - 4.00pm
Sidney Herbert Sime (1865-1941), was Master of the Mysterious and a brilliant black and white Victorian illustrator working in a style akin to that of Beardsley and Rackham. He was an illustrator for publications such as Tatler and The Illustrated London News. He also designed stage sets for the London theatre. His wife left 800 items of his very varied work to the Trustees of Worplesdon Memorial Hall. A Trustee will give an introductory talk about Sime’s life and work and the Hall. This was built in 1922 to commemorate, like so many village halls, the fallen of World War 1. There will also be an opportunity to see the nearby house where Sime lived for 37 years, formerly a Coaching Inn, and his grave at St Mary’s church.
The gallery is tiny, so numbers are restricted to 20 and we will split into two groups.
Tea/ coffee and cake will be served.
Tickets: ACMS and SHS members - £15.00 and Non-members - £16.00
