"An inspiring and humbling experience"

The artist, who was admitted to institutional care in 1934, had no speech or hearing, had epilepsy, learning disability, and had sight in only one eye. His work varied from drawings and paintings through periods of modelling with clay, some life size human figures and brightly coloured fanciful houses. His work included an unfinished 2 metre high model of one of the twin towers in New York as it was being struck by a plane on 11 September, inspired by images on the TV whilst he was at home suffering his final illness.

Many people were moved by the exhibition. A further comment in the visitors' book reads "If only one could be half as inventive.."

"An inspiring and humbling experience"

120 choristers, from different denominations, took part in this year’s Royal School of Church Music (Southwark and E. Surrey) 10 pin bowling competition. The winning team, from St John the Evangelist, Redhill, call themselves U.G.L.I ... “Under God’s Loving Influence”. It’s also the name of the band which they have formed.
