Clovelly - by Terry Harrison 1000 Piece Puzzles - 685mm x 490mm Box Dimensions - 305mm x 305mm x 50mm Clovelly is a village on the north Devon coast, England, about twelve miles west of Bideford. It is a major tourist attraction, famous for its history and beauty, its extremely steep car-free cobbled main street, donkeys, and its location looking out over the Bristol Channel. Thick woods shelter it and render the climate so mild that even tender plants flourish. Clovelly used to be a fishing village and in 1901 had a population of 621. It is a cluster of wattle and daub cottages on the sides of a rocky cleft; its steep main street descends 400 feet (120 m) to the pier, too steeply to allow wheeled traffic. Sledges are used for the movement of goods. The street is lined with houses, and a small number of shops and a cafe and a public house. All Saints' Church, restored in 1866, is late Norman, containing several monuments to the Cary family, lords of the manor for 600 years. The scenery is famous for its richness of colour, especially in the grounds of Cary Court, and along The Hobby, a road cut through the woods and overlooking the sea. The South West Coast Path National Trail runs past the village, and the section from Clovelly to Hartland Quay is particularly spectacular. Terry Harrison was born near Wendover into an RAF family and consequently spent his early years moving from base to base, eventually settling in Farnborough, Hampshire. After attending Farnham Art School, Terry became a graphic artist working in London before joining the Yellow Pages as an illustrator and later Thompson Directories in their Farnborough head office. During his leisure time, Terry pursued his true passion which was landscape painting and by 1984 the demand on his original work was so great that he decided to paint full time and has never looked back! A few years later, Terry began to publish his work as fine art prints and in 1996 was awarded the Best Up and Coming Published Artist of the Year by the Fine Art Trade Guild. The increasing popularity of Terry's work in both their original and printed formats (including cardboard jigsaw puzzles) is reflected in the ever increasing demand for his pictures both at home and abroad.His work can be found in collections around the world in Europe, Japan and the United STêtes. He has several jigsaw puzzles in the Gibsons catalog ranging from 500 piece jigsaw puzzles to 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles.
