Julia Tanner very kindly arranged a visit to Farnley Hall near Otley for the Art Appreciation group and friends and family were invited. Farnley Hall was mentioned a few times when the group researched J.M.W. Turner as a place he had spent time with the family. 

Julia arranged a private tour, hosted by Guy Fawkes, the current member of the Fawkes family in residence. The house is beautiful with views across the Wharfe valley. There are quite a few watercolours painted by Turner of the house and surrounding area, painted while he was staying with his mentor, George Fawkes.

We had a lovely afternoon, good company, a charming host and the cake was good. Thanks again Julia!
