There is  always time for a tea break on a Cornish Art History Course at Tremayne Hall and in the summer that includes strawberries! (weather dependant!)	Each course ends with a visit to look at some of the works of art which have been discussed on the course. This was the group studying Newlyn and  Lamorna Artists 1880 - 1900 who went to Penlee House Gallery and Museum in March 2017.
