Paul Nash 11/05/1889 – 11/07/46
Nash is buried in St. Mary the Virgin Churchyard, St. Marys Road, Langley.

Richard Emerson will speak about Nash’s early life and his connections with the local area. Richard is a former writer and editor who, since retirement, has become interested in promoting the history and heritage of Slough in general and the village of Upton in particular. He gives talks to local organisations and has staged local history exhibitions in his own church, St Laurence, Upton.
Professor Paul Gough will give an illustrated talk about Paul Nash focusing on his achievements as one of the leading British artists of the 20th century, renowned for his visionary landscapes, extraordinary photographs that captured England at its most surreal, and numerous designs for books, textiles and interiors.
During the evening you will also be able to visit the graves of Nash and his wife Margaret, view an exhibition of his ‘Life and Works’ in St Mary the Virgin Church and enjoy some cheese and wine.
