Adam Dant and the Lost Art of Country House Painting
The Jerwood prize winning, former General Election artist and muralist of Upton Cressett will explain the inspirations behind his acclaimed series of murals at Upton Cressett - as featured in Country Life - that are now part of our Grade 1 listing.
