Weston Worthies

published by Richard Manning on Mon, 20/08/2012 - 10:04

Hi,

I was interested in the 'More "Weston Worthies"' article by Pat Hase in the June 2012 Journal and made a visit to the Weston Museum to see them but unfortunately the paintings are not on show at the moment. Does anyone have a list of all of the sitters in the series?

Many thanks

Richard Manning

Weston Worthies

Permalink Submitted by Pat Hase on Thu, 23/08/2012 - 13:31.

I have a list of the Weston Worthies. There are 40 of them and there is a pencilled name on the back of each but as we are not sure when that name was written there is a little doubt  over the identity of some of them.  At least two of the names have proved to be incorrect.  One labelled as William MILES has been identified from other paintings as his father Philip John MILES.  Ann GIBBONS said on the back to be the first postmistress in Weston is most probably her daughter Mary GIBBONS.

I understand that the paintings are currently in the Somerset Heritage Centre at Taunton while work is being undertaken at Weston Museum.  Please contact me if you have an interest in any particular name - I have done some basic research on the majority of them and am keen to add to it if possible.
