As a member of The Ilford Art Society I will be exhibiting 5 paintings at the Dovecote gallery.
The gallery is in the grounds of the Valentines park, mansion & gardens. A lovely day out for all the family.
The house was built in around 1696 for Elizabeth Tillotson and her family, after the death of her husband, the Archbishop of Canterbury and has since changed hands many times. The Council acquired the house in 1912. Since then it has been home to wartime refugees, a hospital, a public health centre, and a council housing department. After sitting empty for around 15 years the house and gardens have been restored with Redbridge council and Heritage Lottery funds .

Hi Pat..So Sorry I missed this..Thanks so much for all the support you show me here, really do appreciate it.
I must admit, although being bought up in Dagenham and working in Ilford town hall, I didn't even know this place existed.It's a wonderful old building that's been fully restored..
