Cramp's Horsham: snapshots from the archive
15 May - 2 Aug

Cecil Cramp, the son of the noted jeweller and antique dealer, took up amateur photography and film making as a pupil at Collyer's Grammar School in 1929. Some thirty years later he started giving his celebrated slide shows about Horsham and the surrounding villages.  His archive of images became legendary within the town of his birth.

Just before he died Cecil gave Horsham Museum 20 slide shows, around 1400 slides in all. Soon after his death his family asked if the museum would like the rest, as well as the relevant ephemera and books. A life's work capturing and recording the changing face of Horsham: without doubt it is one of the most significant gifts to the town in recent years.  There is no better memorial to a man who loved film and the photograph.
