At present, two new painting are displayed side by side in the Attic of Abingdon County Hall Museum. Both now belong to the museum. One was a gift from Sint-Niklaas to the Abingdon Church Twinning Group who, after displaying it themselves at churches, donated it to the museum. That is Study of St Helen’s Church and St Helen’s Wharf by George Vicat Cole.

The other, Near Abingdon, a watercolour by Arthur Claude Strachan, was purchased from a bequest from Peter Clare. Peter worked for the UK Atomic Energy Authority at Harwell and later for a scientific institute in Cambridge, before returning to Abingdon to work in the family business, Touchwood Sports, on the High Street. Alongside his professional life, and in retirement, Peter became involved in many local organisations, and was treasurer of the Abingdon Museum Friends and CPRE Oxfordshire for many years.

(CPRE Oxfordshire have an obituary to peter in their Autumn 2021 magazine.)
