NEW EXHIBITION
Paintings of Menton by Mr. Humphrey Waterfield:
“Painter, Gardener, Scholar”
1908-1971
Humphrey Waterfield was an artist and a gardener. He studied at the Slade School of Art and
although he became known for his gardens, Hill Pasture in Essex and the garden of his parents’
house, Le Clos du Peyronnet, in Menton, it was as an artist that he wished to be remembered.
The works in this exhibition were all painted in Menton between 1945 and his death. They show
the garden of the Clos du Peyronnet, some scenes of the town and many still lifes with pots from his
collection. The paintings all belonged to his nephew William Waterfield who came to run the garden after Humphrey’s death.
All profits from these works will be donated by William’s widow, Judith Pillsbury to benefit
St John’s church and the library.
Musique sans Frontières
Ms. Elisabeth Nielsen, a Danish-Ukranian pianist, and a graduate
of The Royal Danish Academy of Music along with Ms. Bogdana Pivenko, one of Ukraine’s most prominent violinists performed beautifully! Over 100 people enjoyed the concert and funds were raised for the church and a non-profit in Nice benefiting people from Ukraine.
St John's Harvest Picnic was a great success.

I did it!
I walked 107 miles (172km) on the Portuguese Camino, to a very special
destination. It was difficult sometimes, but I was with wonderful people and met others.
There was lots of laughter and many acts of kindness along the way, from fellow pilgrims and local residents. A big Thank you to everyone who donated.
Buen Camino. Jacqui
Members from St John's Church participated in the
