Are there any philanthropists around today or are they a thing of the past... My mum did her thesis at Lancaster Uni. on Joseph Briggs and the Haworth Tiffany collection -must ask her what happened to it.. (Love the name by the way -shame it wasn't spelt Jenny (W)rennie! At Uni. we had a graduate tutor called Bede Rundle (a philosopher) -obviously everyone called him Reed Bundle!)

Re: Paintings at the Haworth Art Gallery.
Went to visit Haworth yesterday to see the full Tiffany collection - love the nasturtium plaque -think it's my favourite piece, less obvious than some of the others but beautiful.
It was nice to see some of the pictures posted on this thread -my favourite "Laundress" was at the bottom of the stairs...provenance of the paintings was not written on them unfortunately. Enjoyed the Accy Pals exhibition too and found 2 photos which are of interest to my aunt and a friend - wil be getting in touch with Retlaw about them shortly - well done for all the hard work Walter - seeing all those photos makes you realise they were people and not just numbers. The trees in Oakhill Park and up at Haworth looked spectacular in the sunshine - great colours. It was a treat to re-visit an old haunt after many years...
