The Stanley Spencer Gallery is situated in the heart of Cookham, the picturesque ‘village in heaven’ where Spencer was born and painted for most of his life. Established in 1962 the building was transformed ten years ago into a magnificent modern art museum, home to the world’s largest collection of Spencer paintings, drawings, personal letters, photographs, press cuttings and books.
Visitor attractions: film and audio guide; exhibition catalogue; self-guided walk pamphlet; free children’s activity booklet; gift shop.
The gallery's winter exhibition will reveal its volunteers’ most loved works and why they mean so much in our community. Highlights include The Last Supper, set in the Cookham malthouses and painted just across the river at Bourne End; visitor-favourite Neighbours; and paintings from Spencer’s ‘Wedding at Cana’ series, which weave Biblical stories into scenes from village life. The exhibition will be a rare opportunity to see the all the Gallery’s best-loved works on display at once.

Group and corporate visits are welcome, with many excellent hostelries nearby. A popular stopping point for coach tours, highly informative and rewarding talks can be arranged and guided walks to the village and countryside where Spencer painted.
Lecture rooms for corporate visits are available by arrangement with the nearby Chartered Institute of Marketing.
