St Mary’s are hosting 2 exhibitions in the coming month, one of art by local artists and another staged by the local History Group.
Art Exhibition
Currently being exhibited, are some large paintings which were painted by village resident, John Newman. They were displayed in St. Mary’s Church in New Church Road during West Bergholt’s Open Gardens weekend. The paintings feature gardens that were mentioned in the Bible including the Garden of Eden and the Garden of Gethsemane. Appropriate verses from the Bible and information about these gardens are displayed alongside the paintings.
There is also some art work created by the children at Bluebells Pre-School. This exhibition will be displayed in the church for the next two weeks.
