Ralph Hedley & Hutton Rudby

I've heard from Clodagh Brown with more details of places to see paintings by Ralph Hedley in June 2013, the centenary of his death.

The Shipley Art Gallery in Gateshead has an exhibition called  Ralph Hedley: Painting the North East, which is on from now until December 21st.

In mid-June, the Cathedral church of St Nicholas in Newcastle will have an exhibition on the subject of Hedley, who worked on the cathedral's choir stalls and misericords.  There will be a celebratory choral evensong - I will post details when I have them.

And of course there are the Hedley paintings in the Laing to visit.

When you go there, those of you with Hutton Rudby connections might like to take a close look at the The Sail Loft.

One of the bales of canvas is clearly marked "Geo Wilson, Hutton Rudby, Cleveland, Yorkshire":
