Churchyard Monuments (Art Workers Guild), 1923
End Date: 16 March 1923
Type: Lecture and discussion
Description: L. A. Turner read a short paper and showed 'fifty or more slides, mostly made for the occasion'. Troup spoke and showed photographs of examples in Fife, and some rubbings of old Scottish inscriptions. The two speakers gave more detail after the interval, and F. Newbolt, C. T. Jacobi, H. Llewellyn Smith, H. M. Fletcher, Warren, Aumonier, J. Dawson and H. A. Bone continued the discussion (AWG Annual Report, 1923, pp. 9-10).
Policy: 'Founded in 1883, with the object of bringing into closer union the workers in various arts and crafts - architects, painters, designers of all kinds, sculptors and wood-carvers, metal-workers, goldsmiths, and many others - chiefly by evening meetings and discussions on different lines and methods in art. Meetings are held fortnightly, when papers are read and their subjects illustrated as fully as possible. Visitors must be introduced by a member' (Year's Art, 1913, pp. 169-70).
