SUMMARY:Friends of Penlee Event: Visit to the Jewish Cemetery in Penzance
DESCRIPTION:The Penzance Jewish Cemetery is the best-preserved Jewish Cemetery from the Georgian era\, outside London. It’s also an important part of national Jewish and local history\, a rare survival from a minority community of the past. You will see beautifully preserved headstones\, some entirely in Hebrew\, and learn more about the community which lived in Penzance and which has left us this treasure. \nMale visitors may wish to wear a cap or hat (but this is not a requirement). \nA booklet about the cemetery is included in the price and will be given out on the day. \nAccess: There is a walk uphill from the meeting point to the Cemetery\, taking about 5 minutes. Wheelchair access is to the entrance area only\, and the ground is steep and very uneven. There is seating for 3 people only. \nPLEASE NOTE: Places MUST be booked in advance via the Friends of Penlee House\, and you can only attend if you are on the list of those who have booked. People who have not booked will not be admitted. A list of attendees will be passed to the speaker and to the Treasurer of the Jewish Cemetery to meet insurance requirements. \n📅 Wednesday 2 September \n🕚 11.00 am (please meet at 10.45 am) \n📍 Meet outside The Longboat Inn\, Penzance\, where you will be escorted to the Cemetery. Please do not go directly to the Cemetery\, as access is by escorted entry only for security reasons. \n🎟️ Tickets: \n• Friends of Penlee House: £12 \n• General admission: £20 \nBook Now: https://friendsofpenleehouse.org.uk/events/event-visit-to-the-jewish-cemetery-in-penzance-2/

SUMMARY:Friends of Penlee Talk: St Just artist David Haughton
DESCRIPTION:This talk will explore David Haughton’s life and career (1924-1991)\, notably his meticulously observed and rendered drawings\, paintings and etchings of the former mining town of St Just\, and his legacy as an inspirational teacher. Haughton drew creative inspiration from the West Penwith of Cornwall throughout his life: from his discovery of St Just in 1947 until he died in 1991. Haughton was also highly regarded for brightly coloured semi-abstract paintings based on grid structures and calligraphic forms made in the 1960s and ‘70s. The talk will contextualise Haughton’s work in relation to post-war British art and the ‘St Ives scene’\, and his friends and contemporaries\, including Prunella Clough\, Barbara Hepworth\, Rose Hilton\, Ben Nicholson\, John Wells and Bryan Wynter (to name but a few). \nDavid Haughton’s daughter\, Frances\, grew up in St Ives and Newlyn and now lives in Sussex. Her talk will coincide with Sansom & Co’s publication of David Haughton: Art\, Life and the Cornish Landscape in September 2026. Now semi-retired\, Frances’s career was in the visual arts\, crafts and public art. In 2018\, Penlee House Gallery & Museum organised a highly successful and popular exhibition\, David Haughton in St Just\, which revived interest in his work. The exhibition catalogue is now out of print. Frances’s book brings fresh material to light about Haughton’s Cornwall years\, including interviews with Haughton’s former students at the Central School of Arts and Crafts and recent archive discoveries. \nA small exhibition of Haughton’s St Just work will show from 4th to 30th September at the Penwith Gallery in St Ives. \nDate: Tuesday 22 September \nTime: 7.30 pm \nLocation: Queen’s Hotel\, Penzance \nCost: £7 for Friends. £15 for General Admission \nBook Now: https://friendsofpenleehouse.org.uk/events/lecture-st-just-artist-david-haughton/
