Inside The Watts Gallery

Compton's best-known resident was the artist George Frederic Watts and his wife Mary Seton Watts. They lived in the village at their house called 'Limnerslease' which is now part of the Watts Gallery a popular spot to visit. After George's death Mary commissioned the Watts Mortuary Chapel to be built on a hill overlooking the village. Open to the public, it is a stunning example of architecture and design with beautiful ceilings.
