About this event

A talk on Alfred De Pass - a South African businessman, who embarked on his honeymoon trip to Falmouth in 1888. Impressed by the location, he returned in 1895 to establish his holiday home, Cliffe House, along the picturesque seafront. With a passion for art cultivated during his travels, De Pass adorned his residence with a collection of artworks. It was during his time in Falmouth that he encountered the renowned artist Henry Scott Tuke, forging connections with other artists based in Cornwall, as well as Sir Ronald Gower, a trustee of the National Portrait Gallery.

£1 Poly Fund payment added to each ticket sold
