Yes, we enjoyed the Biddy Picard exhibition in the upstairs gallery. There was a range of paintings - still lives, landscapes, small amount of ceramics, etc.
Enjoy your visit.

Absolutely - a great lunch at Olive & Co, a walk around the lake & then climb to the tor. Great views towards Rame, along the coast & out across Bodmin Moor.

Yes, I agree.
We recently visited a church in Harlow, Essex.
The colours of the glass there were very intense.

Part of #Roman floor mosaic
3rd Century CE
Found 1899 - Karl-Marx-Straße/Jüdemerstraße #Trier
A lion striking a bull as its prey.
Originally 6.5 square metres in size, the surrounding pattern indicates it once would have had nine panels.

Church of St Odulph, Pillaton, Cornwall
15th Century granite west tower. Of 3 stages, with buttresses set back from the corners, an embattled parapet & pinnacles.
The Weary Friar pub perhaps dates to the 12th Century. There may be monastic links or former use as a church house.
