[Sana Dayal](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103968580790598300871/reviews) ★★★★★

One of the most stunning artworks of George Watts abd his wife Mary. The most famous painting called Hope is also part of this gallery. There is also a lot of Mary's lovely pottery and carved works displayed. The shop is also charming.

We visited during a busy weekend. I was initially not too happy about having to pay for parking (even though it was just a pound) on top of nearly £20 to enter, but I have to admit I enjoyed the day. We went to the talks about the De Morgans' lives and also the Watts Chapel and both were informative and interesting. We enjoyed our lunch in the cafe and found the galleries interesting - I especially liked the social awareness paintings relating to issues such as low wages and the potato famine. There is a gift shop with a good variety - expensive but good quality.

Had a great day here at the Watts gallery complex. Visited the historic galleries & went on the guided tour given by Helen? Who was extremely informative & entertaining. Lots to see. We then visited limnerlease house but did not visit the chapel as have been there a few times before.

The café at the gallery is excellent, the toilets are good and the gift shop is inviting. The gallery is interesting if you like that style of art. We viewed the exhibition about the Pattle sisters, which was highly informative, but through it all Mr Watts did not seem an endearing man. However, to see his statues of Alfred, Lord Tennyson and 'Energy' was a delight. Tennyson's statue we know we'll, it's on the green behind Lincoln Cathedral. The horseman is part of the Rhodes Memorial in Cape Town, a place we have also visited.
