Has anybody heard of an artist called James Steinhamer Gibbs, active in the early Victorian period? The sketch, attached, seems too good to be an amateur. There's a large collection at Bath by James Walter Gibbs, but I can't find a connection . .

It was great to be together to welcome Arthur and his family. Lovely to receive the following: Thank you so much for everything. The vicar was lovely and my family said how welcoming the church was - and my sister wants to start coming to Café Church! The importance of welcome...
