The gallery has been housed in the village's former Wesleyan chapel, which Spencer attended as a child, since it opened in 1962.

It is open every day in summer and from Thursday to Sunday in winter, with a changing exhibition alongside the permanent display.

Visitors can follow Spencer's picture Neighbours, painted in 1936, from drawing to print to finished painting.
