Hi Folks

I have recently acquired an oil painting of the interior of a church by the famous Leeds artist Owen Bowen (1873-1967). I am very keen to know which church it is. I'm sure it's in Yorkshire and I had hoped it was Collingham, as he is buried there and lived at East Keswick. Unfortunately it's not. It's not Boston Spa, Thorp Arch or Walton either, I visited them all yesterday! If anyone does know where it is I would be very grateful.

Thanks

Paul

So is it then?




Talking of Canons. I usually listen to "thought for the day" on Radio 4 whilst dozing in bed in the morning. Quite often it's the Canon David Winter. I long for the day when they say "and now thought for the day which was to have been read by the Canon David Winter. But he's been fired".

Do you think Mike'll pop round and have a look?



I'll get about £200 more for it if I know where it is.

7/12!



















As your ex missus came out of it ahead do you think she might be interested in the painting?
