| A framed sketch of All Saints Church was
donated to sell on the Ebay for All Saints to raise money for the Church. |
 |
| The drawing was undated but signed by Norman
Deigan and on the back of the frame there was a black and white photograph of
him aged 5 years which judging by the clothes and hair cut etc, was taken in
the 50's. |
| The donor of the picture did not know anything
about the picture or Norman Deigan but says that the picture was purchased,
already framed, from the gallery in Moulsham Street, Chelmsford, some years
ago. |
| Michael found 2 people listed in the Phone Book and one was
related to Norman |
| The end of the story is that Norman Deigan was
16 when he drew the Church. He was at school in Billericay and they had an art
day in Stock drawing the Church. He had the drawing framed as a gift to a lady
who lived in the village (not the lady who donated the picture to ebay for All
Saints') so it obviously changed hands at least once at some time. The drawing
and photograph are now with Norman, who is now 54, who now lives in Chelmsford.
