Tearoom converted into art gallery to showcase local artists' work
An historic tearoom has turned its walls into an art gallery to showcase the work of up and coming local artists.
The owner of Bishop Percy's House in Bridgnorth said she decided to provide a canvas for local artists to display their work due to the town not having an art gallery.
Maria Allen, who runs the tearoom in the Cartway, said: "There is not a gallery in Bridgnorth for any local artists to exhibit their work and we have enough space on our walls.
"At the moment we have the works from a number of artists on display, all framed and all for sale. We will change them around if more artists want to submit their work."
She said customers to the tearoom, which is situated in the Tudor birthplace of Thomas Percy, the Bishop of Dromore, and was also the former home of Bridgnorth Boys Club, have been enjoying the new artistic decor.
"While there haven't been any sales as yet, people coming to the tearoom have really enjoyed looking at the artwork," Maria added.
For those wanting to see the art work on display at Bishop Percy's House, the tea room is open from 10am-4pm six days a week.
