At the entrance doorway to Colwall Park, behind the open white door here. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4801411 The Colwall Village Society plaque records that the painter's studio was in Colwall Park from 1947-1961. During her long career, Dame Laura Knight was one of the most successful and popular painters in Britain. In 1936 she was the first woman to be elected to the Royal Academy. She was a war artist during the Second World War, and at the Nuremberg war crimes trials in 1946. She spent three months observing the trials from inside the courtroom. The result was the large oil painting, The Nuremberg Trial.
