Benjamin
Manning
by Tim Saunders
This was a work of imagination for we do
not yet have a photograph or drawing of
Mr Manning, but as our research into the life of Benjamin and his family continued,
Tim began to feel as if he knew him.

This is the view from the old bridge
that leads into the small field by the river,
across the stream from Manning's Pit,
so while not strictly in Manning's Pit,
the bridge is part of the land that
was included in the sale.

This was a morning view, the light coming
through onto the hedgerows is always
particularly beautiful on a sunny
winter morning.

This was painted in about 1999, when the
cattle grazing in the field were of this colour
and bulky type- could they have been
Charolais, does anyone know?

Margaret Reed has also helped us
with historical research into the life
of Benjamin Manning and his family
of the Manning's Pit fields, as well as
a charming sketch book, and written
testimonies about the fields,
from herself and her son Dan.

Anne Beer also put several paintings
into the Exhibition, unfortunately we were
unable to take good photographs of them at
the time, so I am afraid these do not do
them justice.

the area of the Manning's Pit fields.
Anne has also given us a very moving piece
of writing, about what Mannning's Pit means
to her. You can read it on our
supporters page.
