Cavendish

Today we’d like to share with you a series of prints celebrating the quintessentially picturesque village of Cavendish in Suffolk. These cards feature the historic 14th-15th century St Mary the Virgin’s Church and cottages, listed by Simon Jenkins as “One of England’s thousand best churches”. The church’s Two-manual Pipe Organ dates from 1884 and was made by Henry Jones and sons, and a plaque in honour of local philanthropists Sue Ryder and Leinard Cheshire is to be found in the church.

A Saxon church on this spot was mentioned in the Doomsday book of 1086, and Sir Richard Cavendish of Richard II’s era was connected with the village. Annual fetes are held on the green pictured here.

As always, copies of all cards and prints are available from selected outlets and the full range can be found on our art images page.

St Patrick’s Day – card and concert!

To celebrate St Patrick’s Day, we have a new variation on a favourite card, which you can see on our Art Images page, as well as Harp and Flute concerts of themed music just right for the day and the season.

You can also see our new “Long Melford” series featuring four beautiful views of this lovely village. Here is “Holy Trinity (from Church Walk)”:

Look out for some more lovely village scenes, coming very soon!

Spring in the air…and Valentine’s Day

Four lovely new cards to share with you this week, all on a theme of early Spring and Valentine’s Day. Firstly, we have “Just Being…with you”, where the horse and his cat friend are sharing the early sunshine.

“Puppy Love – Let’s Be Friends” depicts two new friends meeting on their daily walk.

“Snowdrops” is a quintessential English woodland scene of a favourite flower and “Anthurium – Flamingo Flower” is a spectacular design, hand-drawn by Adriene and perfect for Valentines’ Day, birthdays or any occasion where you need a touch of spring.

Until next time!
