Ernest Waldron West (1904-1994) The passing of St. Andrew's Church, Worcester Signed and inscribed verso, oil on canvas, 63.5cm by 76cm This painting documents the demolition of St. Andrew's Church, Worcester in 1949. A church had stood at the site in various forms since Saxon times but following decay and diminishing congregations, the council ordered its demolition to instead create a garden of remembrance. Despite this, the tower and famous tall spire were retained and it is still a prominent landmark in the city today. Worcester-based painter Ernest Waldron West is best known for his finished portraits of local notable figures, but this oil sketch, most likely made at the scene, demonstrates his versatility to work quickly en plein air and interest in documenting the changing landscape of his home town.
