Limnerslease

G F and Mary Watts, Victorian artists and visionaries, built their home in the Surrey Hills amongst the breath-taking scenery of the Pilgrims' Way. Taking inspiration from their surroundings, both artists thrived, creating works within their home and studio, Limnerslease.

 George Frederic Watts OM, RA (1817 – 1904) was widely considered to be the greatest painter of the Victorian era. A portraitist, sculptor, landscape painter and symbolist, Watts's work embodied the most pressing themes and ideas of the time, earning him the title England's Michelangelo.
