	Artist details for Stanley Horace Gardiner
		An exhibition of his paintings realised sufficient sales to enable the family to move down to Cornwall in 1923 and, encouraged by Lamorna Birch, they settled in Lamorna.
		Initially, their home was an old Army hut behind the local pub, The Wink, and times were hard as Gardiner studied further at the Forbes School in 1926.
		However, as he developed his own style of landscape painting, which was heavily influenced by Birch, success began to come his way and the family moved down the valley to Lily Cottage, where the Lamorna stream comes tumbling through the garden.

		The Lamorna valley and cove, once an isolated, strange and beautiful place, has today become a tourist attraction; the main reason being that it became an 'enclave' for artists and artisans of the Post Impressionist period.
		Lamorna has a rocky little cove with a small quay which is still used for occasional fishing, but it is not well protected and boats have to be dragged up the steep slipway for safety.
		The most famous, of course is 'Lamorna' Birch (real names, Samuel John) who lived here from the end of the 19th century until his death.
