Graham Sutherland, past resident of Merton Park (1903 -1980)

 

 


 

Graham Sutherland the renowned designer of the huge tapestry Christ in Glory for Coventry Cathedral, was born in Streatham, the eldest of three children, and in his childhood moved to Merton Park.  We do not know a great deal about his childhood except that he went as a day boy to Epsom College for two years.  In 1919 he was sent as an engineering apprentice to the Midland Railway but after a further two years he went to Goldsmiths' College of Art.

Does anyone have any further information?
