GRAVES OF TWO 20th CENTURY ARTISTS
The bodies of this talented and intriguing husband and wife pair lie incognito beneath these two unmarked mounds in the beautiful tree-lined graveyard of All Saints’ Gimingham. Both were professional landscape artists and also pacifists of the Great War for which the husband, Claughton Pellew, was imprisoned in Dartmoor. On his release in 1919 they escaped to hide and paint in the depths of north Norfolk. Between the wars they developed close German links such that the body of their work contrasts interestingly between the flatness of Norfolk and the mountains and lakes of Bavaria where at the time the Nazi Party was being born.
Examples of Claughton’s pictures can be seen at
