Finally found time to think about Kate Tryon.  We spotted her painting of Aldbourne ages ago on a visit to the Richard Jefferies Museum at Coate Water and it’s taken this long to add her to the blog!  In the intervening time, the Swindon Museum and Art Gallery have conserved the Tryon collection.

You can find out more about Kate Tryon in this article by Barry Leighton (Swindon Advertiser) 13th April 2016 – An American in Wiltshire  which includes the quote “If anyone ever asks my idea of heaven… I shall say ‘The Wiltshire Downs on a spring morning’.”
