Our Collection

The Stanley Spencer Gallery holds one of the largest collection of paintings and drawings by the artist.

This has been achieved in huge measure through the unstinting generosity of our supporters, and of collectors who have, over the years, made their pictures available to us. 

The Gallery owns just under one hundred works, which have been presented, bequeathed, given in memory of a departed owner, or made available for purchase by generous owners who allowed time for funding to be found.

Behind every work there is a story, almost always with a lover of Stanley Spencer’s art at its core. We are most grateful to these people, and to their families who continue to support us as members of the wider Stanley Spencer Gallery community.
