- **Event Name**:  A Village in Heaven: Stanley Spencer's Cookham
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 20 Jan, 2026 at 02:15 pm
- **Event Description**: Few artists are as rooted in a place as Stanley Spencer and his beloved home village of Cookham. This Thames-side village was not only his birthplace, his home for most of his life, and even his nickname, but it dominated his imagination and was the inspiration and location for many of his greatest paintings. This lecture will look at Cookham’s place in Spencer’s art, and how it was central to his unique vision of English domestic and spiritual life.
