Chris Fiddes

Born in 1934, Fiddes attended Northampton School of Art and went on to obtain a teaching diploma. After his National Service in Hong Kong, he worked as an art teacher for over 20 years before retiring to focus on his art full-time. Fiddes is important for art and heritage in Northamptonshire, not only for depicting the county, but also for his involvement in campaigns to protect the local countryside and the town’s historic buildings.
