20th Anniversary Exhibition : ‘Daphne’s Story’, 23rd & 24th March 2024

To mark our 20th anniversary year, this March we will be mounting an exciting exhibition of the life and work of Daphne Curle (1895-1975). She was an artist, writer, musician and teacher who lived for most of her life on Rowhedge High Street, in what was once The Ship Hotel. This promises to be a fascinating exhibition that celebrates the life of one of Rowhedge’s most talented individuals. Come and view an amazing range of artefacts, including diaries and photographs, a vast collection of letters and postcards as well as her stories, poems, drawings and music.  Together they tell the fascinating story of a family of shopkeepers who lived in Rowhedge and of a talented young girl who never quite managed to reach her full potential. The Exhibition will take place on 23 & 24 March at Rowhedge Village Hall and will display selected materials from the extensive family archive left by a young lady growing up in Rowhedge in the late Victorian/Edwardian era.

Opening hours:
Saturday 23rd    10.00am – 5.00pm
Sunday 24th       11.00am – 4.00pm

There is no admission fee, but you are invited to make a small donation to the RHT when coming to visit.

We look forward to welcoming you there!
