Last year I joined the South West OCA Regional Study group and went to a meeting at Ilminster Hall to hear a talk about an artist called Eric Ravilious as the Group has organised a meeting in Barnstaple which will feature the work of the late Devon photographer James Ravilous who was Eric's son. We'll also meet with James' wife who will be talking about his mammoth body of work on the rural Devon in the latter half of the 20th century.

There was a black and white print exhibition of James' work at the renowned Royal Albert Memorial Museum (RAMM) in Exeter last year. This was a fascinating body of work showing the hardships of country life but also how communities came together in celebration.
