The Fine Art Collection includes oil paintings, watercolours, drawings, prints and sculptures, photography and video - with individually important works such as Chadding on Mounts Bay by Stanhope Forbes.

Work on digitizing the Art Collection is currently underway..... but this will take "a while" to complete so we thought we'd upload the material in batches so that you can enjoy it right away! For a full list of what we've uploaded so far - click here.

The works featured here are by Arthur Meade (top left), J. G. Hook (top right), Frank O. Salisbury (bottom left) and George R. Clarke (bottom right).
