“Compton Verney’s Folk Art Collection has no boundaries and as you enter the galleries you feel you are entering a glorious fantasy world, populated with extraordinary objects, including outsized tea pots, a key, a shotgun and a cartridge, a padlock, a wooden clog and agolden fleece, all variously hanging above a medley of whirligigs, weather vanes, toys and signs, alongside paintings of stiff people, wonky buildings, square sheep and impossibly fat pigs. You feel that these things were made by people who had fun.” Robert Young, Folk Art Specialist
