THREE artworks commissioned by a tourist attraction in Cornwall to commemorate the Armistice signed at the end of the First World War have now been moved to a nearby church.

The artworks, which were commissioned by the Lost Gardens of Heligan, near Mevagissey, in 2018, are on display at St Ewe Parish Church.

A spokesperson for the church said: “Conceived and created by artist Lize Kruger, the illuminated panels were inspired by the life and death of Percy Carhart, a Heligan ‘lost gardener’, from the parish of St Ewe.

“Percy lost his life at the Battle of Passchendaele on November 30, 1917, and his name is recorded on the St Ewe War Memorial outside the church.

“Percy’s signature was one of the gardeners’ marks discovered on the thunderbox wall at Heligan back in the early days of discovery in 1990.

“St Ewe is raising money to fix a hole in the roof of the ancient church building and villagers are hoping people visiting the art will help by donating much-needed funds for repairs.

“The church is open for visitors every day and people who visit can find more information about the art and about the other villagers who lost their lives in the First World War.”
