Join researchers from Sheffield General Cemetery Trust to discover the stories of Sheffield artists who are buried in the Cemetery

Carpenter Room Sheffield Central Library

Sue Turner and Helen Brown, volunteer researchers, have uncovered the stories of Sheffield artists who are buried in the Cemetery. Names like Thomas Hofland, Young Mitchell, Jean Saltfleet, and Arthur Winterbottom may be less well known now than they were in their heyday, but their lives and their work are still fascinating and inspiring. We can also see the continuing legacy of the clubs, societies, and colleges the artists established to bring their work to a wider public.
The book, Canvas of Memories - Discovering Artists in Sheffield General Cemetery, will be available to purchase, and visitors are invited to seek out some of the pictures and engravings in the Graves Gallery and other Sheffield Museums sites.
In conjunction with Sheffield General Cemetery Trust.
