Sculpture by the Lakes
Described as one of the most beautiful and unique sculpture parks in the United Kingdom, Sculpture by the Lakes marries the soft beauty of nature's wild river landscape with the more formal presentation of monumental outdoor sculpture. It is that combination of art and landscape that inspires Sculpture by the Lakes. Whether it is work on a monumental scale that relates to its environment, or smaller works, the sculptures of Simon Gudgeon are perfectly placed in the delicately nurtured natural landscape to visually enhance their surroundings. The effect is a balance, a harmony of form and context where the experience is central. Without walls, without interpretation, each person can engage with the art and the ever-changing environment.
The Grouse
Leading sporting artists Simon Gudgeon, Ashley Boon, Ben Hoskyns, Terence Lambert, Rodger McPhail, Derek Robertson, Jonathan Sainsbury, Keith Sykes, and Owen Williams try to capture and reflect their feelings in words and images for this game bird. Words are insufficient to describe the excitement of a covey of grouse flying towards the butt, but the artists portray that moment that raises the heartbeat of the sportsman. The paintings and sketches provide a rich tapestry of images that reflect the artists' passion for grouse.
The Woodcock
The woodcock--a mysterious, unpredictable, secretive bird that is loved by sportsmen and naturalists alike--is depicted by eight leading sporting artists. Each artist has his own chapter in which they portray the woodcock in their own unique style in pencil, watercolor, and oils as well as outstanding sculptures. Foreword by the Duke of Edinburgh.

First excavated by Sir William St John Hope in 1896-1900 and in state guardianship since 1955 it is acknowledged as a type site for late-medieval Carthusian monasteries. The modern study of Mount Grace began in 1957 when Hope’s interpretation of the monks’ cells about the great cloister was found to be simplistic. This was followed between 1968 and 1974 by the excavation of individual monks’ cells in the west ...
