We are a friendly group of ladies and gentlemen, young and not so young, who come together for a cup of tea and a biscuit, meet old friends, make new friends and generally spend a couple of hours in good company.

We try to give our members something different each week, and our programme includes such activities as occasional lunches in the Village Hall, and sometimes we go to various local venues for lunch.  We also invite speakers to entertain us, we play simple card games as a group (with prizes for winners), we have easy quizzes, again with prizes, we have painting sessions (pictures, not walls!), and sometimes we just sit and chat.

If all this interests you, then just come along, we make everyone welcome.  All we ask is that you are able to get to the Village Hall.  You don’t have to live in Lapworth, we have members from as far afield as Wootton Wawen, Knowle, Shirley and Dorridge.

AGM followed by A talk by Adam Busiakiewicz

The Lost Portrait of Henry VIII

In the 1590s Ralph Sheldon commissioned a set of portraits of English monarchs and other notables for his home Weston Hall in Long Compton.

The house is now gone and the paintings were sold at Christies in 1791 and dispersed.

So how did the painting of Henry VIII come to be in Shire Hall in Warwick, its provenance as one of the supposedly lost Sheldon portraits unknown, and its significance unrecognised?
