Sally and Stewart Walton

An artist and a writer

Sally and Stewart Walton enjoy working together.  They met in the early 80’s when Stewart taught Graphic Design on Thursdays and Sally was on the Foundation Year course as a mature student.  They married 2 years later and began their working partnership – he with the pictures and she with the words.  

Stewart was a presenter on BBC’s Home Front and Sally wrote the programme’s best-selling Home Front Guide to Doing up a Period Home.  More books and kids followed.

One of the annual family treats was a trip to Somerset for the Glastonbury Festival. Stewart had a drawing spot beside the DJ on the Pyramid Stage with a perfect view of the performers and the crowd. There is a ‘one day’ plan for a Festival Drawings book.

Having lived by the sea for years they wanted a change of scene and Somerset beckoned and they moved to Bruton post lock-down.

Their book Let’s Eat Bruton & Beyond is the result of living somewhere new and exploring what the food scene had to offer.  

They were blown away!
