The Dartmoor photographs of
Chris Chapman

Welcome to The Dartmoor Photographs of Chris Chapman.
This permanent exhibition was established in June 2022.
This exhibition aims to celebrate the renowned work of Chris Chapman who has been recording life on Dartmoor since 1972 and the social change that has occurred since then.
His photographs have captured not just a landscape under pressure from constant modernisation but also the residents and individuals who have made up the local population.
Some of these characters are immortalised in print and when viewed by the public they are looking back in time to a period from which the like of these will never be seen again.
This important record of rural life on the moor can be seen at Providence Methodist Chapel, Throwleigh, Dartmoor EX20 2HZ.
