"When Will That Be?" An exhibition of drawings, paintings and prints of St.Dunstan's All Saints, Stepney Green, East London, until the end of January 2026. Open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 10 to 4.30. Saturday 13th and 20th December 1 to 4pm Jane Roberts has been artist-in-residence at St.Dunstan's for the past two years and is in the building most Fridays. Her work reflects her appreciation of the building and its weathered stonework. Derek Chambers' watercolours illustrate his fondness for its setting in a calm space amidst the traffic. Derek has known Jane and admired her work for almost forty years and was pleased to share space with her in this show and in a show in the Ballroom Gallery Aldeburgh, earlier this year. |

etching, edition of 20, 41x31cm
£275
 St.Dunstan's bell ringers, charcoal on paper, 62 x 76cm
£600
The title of this Show is from a line in the rhyme, Oranges and Lemons - centuries old and still chanted by children. "When will that be? say the bells of Stepney" and "I do not know, says the great bell of Bow". The bells of Stepney ring out now over busy streets, just as first they did over fields and orchards.
