The Sherborne
We’re delighted to announce the appointment of eight accomplished trustees for The Sherborne, selected to champion and oversee Michael Cannon’s vision for our wonderful building. The newly appointed Board of Trustees, led by the distinguished Sir Robert Fry, gathered for the first official board meeting last week to discuss making art accessible, keeping the history of the house alive, and capturing the imaginations of the local community.
We are so fortunate to have such a fantastic group of dynamic people who bring a wealth of wide experience, knowledge, and expertise with a passion for art and culture. Making The Sherborne an inspirational destination in the west country, bringing together and creating real change for the local area and beyond.
We are also thrilled to announce that Sir Robert Fry as the chairman of the board and wanted to share a little bit about Sir Robert with you:
