1. The Lamorna Society was formed in 1997 following the exhibition of Lamorna Birch's work at Falmouth, in 1997. This was inspired by the biography of Birch, A Painter Laureate, by Austin Wormleighton (1937-2019), who became the Society's President until his death in 2019.

2. Lamorna Birch (1911) 'Its impossible to go out rabbit shooting any more because I find there's a woman artist sitting behind every gorse bush.'

3. Birch's grandson, Adam Kerr (1933-2016) was the Society's first  Patron. Here he raises a glass to the Society at one of the meetings at Lamorna.
