The story of Fred Appleyard’s (1874 – 1963) artistic career is one that seems to have been lost to art history. Working successfully as an accomplished Pre-Raphaelite styled painter at the turn of the 20th Century, Appleyard moved to Hampshire after the First World War and became captivated by his surroundings, changing his painting approach to British Impressionism.   Appleyard trained at the Royal Academy Schools where he was awarded the prestigious Turner Gold Medal for landscape painting.
