Thanks to Tony for flagging this up. In case anybody is interested. One day it would be nice to look through that lot, to see what other interesting portrayals of Stonehenge there might be, noticed or unnoticed.....

LUNCHTIME TALK: The Museum's Art Collection
An illustrated talk by Bill Perry. The Museum holds an extensive art collection, but little can be displayed.
Come along and find out about some of the 8,000 plus prints and paintings in our collection. All the works are of Wiltshire places and scenes dating from the 17th century, many of which no longer exist.
This lecture, by the former Chairman of the Society, will discuss and illustrate as many of the important and interesting pictures in the collection as there is time for.
The Museum's art collection deserves to be better known. There are many delights which the lecturer would like to share with those able to attend this lecture.
About lunchtime talks:
Lunchtime talks start at 1.10pm and last approx. 45 minutes.
Bring your lunch - we will provide tea/coffee.
Our Lecture Hall is accessible via a lift if required, has a hearing loop and air conditioning.

Now and then I will muse on related Stonehenge topics which have an Ice Age dimension...
