Four paintings from Malcolm Midwood Milne’s 1951 series. Each set of eight contains two of each image and is blank inside.
The following set of four acrylic paintings shows Henfield’s progression over the centuries and were produced for the exhibition held here to mark the Festival of Britain in 1951. They recall long lost aspects such as the prehistoric broad river estuary, troubadours on the nearby Roman road, the Bishop of Chichester overseeing his Medieval deer park and a stagecoach passing the George Inn.
Born in Cheshire, Malcolm Midwood Milne (1887-1954) arrived in Henfield in 1926, moving into Dykes, east of Henfield Common, alongside his sister and fellow painter Hilda.
Produced by the Friends of Henfield Museum, 2023, to which all proceeds go to support the museum and local heritage projects in the community.
Recycled paper (FSC/PEFC), Woodland Carbon Code accredited, Woodland Trust carbon offset.
