7.00pm The Remarkable Pinwill Sisters

After the AGM, at 7pm we will welcome Helen Wilson as our guest speaker. Earlier this year, Helen published The Remarkable Pinwill Sisters: From “Lady Woodcarvers” to Professionals. The Pinwill sisters, Mary, Ethel and Violet, learnt to carve as teenagers, during the restoration of their father’s church at Ermington, Devon. With the patronage of architect Edmund H. Sedding, they established a professional woodcarving business, Rashleigh, Pinwill & Co. in 1890, which later relocated to Plymouth. After about 1907, Violet ran the business single-handedly, with a workforce of nearly 30 carvers and joiners, establishing one of the best wood and stone carving companies in the West Country.
