Stanley Spencer spent a almost a year around 1941 in the village of Leonard Stanley in Gloucestershire sketching and painting, one notable piece he produced during this time was the painting 'Village Life' or 'Village Gossip'. During July and August 2011 Julie Roberts was commissioned by Cheltenham Art Gallery and Museum to be artist in residence in the village.
Julie worked with the village community in engaging them in various activities linked to the artwork and artist. They were encouraged to record their own interpretations of village life and what it meant to them in the present day.
