In the mid 1800's Henry Fantin Latour and James McNeil Whistler visited Lower Sunbury, staying with art dealer, Ruth Edwards and her artist husband Charles at Thames Bank House, now known as Monksbridge. Since then a thriving community of artists has existed in this wonderful riverside village. It was the idea of Daphne Clement, a well known local water colourist, to acknowledge the many artists working here; hence Sunbury Working Artists was formed. The Art Trail is an invitation to all to visit artists now working and exhibiting in studios in Lower Sunbury.
