Henry Strachey (artist)

He executed a series of panels for the County Council's dining room at Brockwell Park in South London, "representing typical scenes of country life : Dawn, with mowers going to work in the field; Noon, two pinafored children by a spray of dog-roses in a field; Evening, the hay in the stack; Afternoon, labourers at tea by the side of a stream; and a large panel of twenty feet or so, the length of the room, showing labourers at work in a wide hayfield.

He wrote a book on "Raphael" published by G. Bell & Sons, Ltd. London in 1900, which was one of The Great Masters in Painting and Sculpture series edited by G. C. Williamson.

Inside the Church of St Nicholas and the Blessed Virgin Mary, Stowey are wall paintings by Strachey from the early 20th century.

Also in the chancel are paintings of the miraculous Feeding the multitude and of disciples on the road to Emmaus.

The Last Judgment is pictured over the chancel arch with an equal number of angels of light and darkness.
