Old Lock Up Gallery | Cromford
The Old Lock Up Gallery is a contemporary art gallery exhibiting original art, ceramics and artisan crafts within a quirky 18th century cottage in the heart of Derbyshire.
Sitting within a World Heritage Site where the Industrial Revolution began, The Old Lock Up itself is part of the village's heritage as the ground floor of the cottage became the village jail in the 1780's.
The gallery opened in 2017 and in that time we have developed a diverse and ever-changing programme of exhibitions throughout the year. We are well known for our hallmark of outstanding quality and beauty.

The Manger Gallery | Melbourne
The Manger Gallery, Derbyshire is a small, atmospheric Gallery housed in a 19th Century stable, part of my family home, which borders the hamlet of Kings Newton and the attractive market town of Melbourne.
The Gallery shows changing selections of my own work, alongside ceramics, sculpture, stained glass, booklets and artists cards. The Manger Gallery also seeks to draw attention to a handful of regional artists whose work links with concerns evident in my own, in special themed exhibitions. Work in the British Romantic tradition, with a strong narrative or literary dimension, visionary, spiritual or religious themes, decorative aspects, connecting inner and outer worlds, unafraid to draw upon art of the past. This is bold, imaginative, highly individual work, eschewing wooly or abstruse ‘concepts’ and instead exploring big ideas and personal visions in accessible and beautiful ways, with media including paintings and drawings, print-making, lettering and textiles.
