A new book on public art in Farnham has just been published!
Called “Art in the Community: History and Public Art in Farnham”, it is by Roy Waight and Sue Farrow who are both trustees of the Farnham Public Art Trust. It is available at Farnham bookshops at £13.99, published jointly by the Farnham Public Art Trust and the Farnham & District Museum Society.
The book takes the unusual approach of setting public art in the town against a full panoply of events in its history, starting from the very beginning with geology and progressing through the centuries right up to the present day.
It is a real eye opener, revealing a treasure house of art, craft and design in Farnham which is too often taken for granted or perhaps not even noticed. Not to be missed!
