Horsham Arts Society lecture date

This month’s Arts Society lecture by Hilary Williams promises to be fascinating and entertaining. Hare’s a taster…

The discerning choices which led to the sumptuous collections at the Wallace Collection in London and the Frick in New York, is linked by a circle of great patrons, dealers and taste, in ‘the Gilded Age’.

Apart from Sir Richard and Lady Wallace and the American industrialist Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919), there was someone who worked for them all, Sir John Murray-Scott, who then left a related fortune to the mother of Vita Sackville-West. Therein lies a great story.
