A Nod for Lady Elwes
May 30th – 31st
Lady Carolyn Elwes was the lifeblood running through the snowdrops at the renowned Colesbourne Gardens. Lady Elwes, who always liked to be called Carolyn, was a self-taught artist who kept more than 30 illustrated diaries of her activities and was an expert needleworker who made rugs, cushions, hats and dresses throughout her life and did all the illustration for the Colesbourne Gardens snowdrop brochures and cards for more than 30 years. She was a national W.I. judge of needlework and crafts and still had time to be a wonderful wife and mother. This is a rare chance to see some of her original art and crafts plus sketchbooks from the family archives.
Can I buy a ticket for this exhibition.
I am a guide at Cathedral and a patron of Gloucester History Festival and would be interested in visiting.
Hi Margy,
You don’t need to book a ticket, just turn up to the museum and it is free to visit.
