who is Randolph Caldecott
Randolph Caldecott moved from Chester to Whitchurch aged 15. Everywhere he went he just couldn’t stop drawing. He wandered about the countryside drawing animals and everything else he could see and dreamed of becoming an artist one day. However, Randolph’s father, an accountant, wanted him to work in banking.
Randolph followed his father’s wishes and begun his banking career, whilst studying art at night. Eventually aged 26 he quit his job and went on to live his dreams travelling the world and becoming a renowned illustrator!
We hope you will join us in celebrating his life and be inspired to reach for the stars!
