The next Lecture at Matthews Hall in our winter series is on Thursday January 12th, entitled “Devon Artists at The Elizabethan Court- Nicolas Hilliard and Nicholas Stone”.

Exeter artist Nichols Hilliard, and Woodbury Sculptor Nicholas Stone, both made their reputations at the Tudor court working for the monarch. Their careers offer a fascinating glimpse into the art world of that period.
