The Works of Jim Allen

A tour of Futuna Chapel and the works of Jim Allen led by Trust Chair Nick Bevin.

Trust Chair Nick Bevin will conduct a detailed and personal tour of Futuna Chapel telling the story of Futuna. This story starts in France in 1816 and has been added to significantly over the intervening 206 years. An integral component of the tour will be the stories of the Chapel art works by Jim Allen. Some of these works are embedded in the exterior building fabric of the Chapel. Jim Allen passed away 9th June 2023 in his 101st year. Copies of the book 'Futuna - Life of a Building' will be on sale at the Chapel during Wellington Heritage Week for a discounted price of $ 20. Cash only.

Tour is offered freely. Koha would be appreciated.
