The John Cherry Cup – A brief historyThe Cherry Cup was founded by John Cherry a Hornsea artist who made his living designing and painting heraldic shields. John also ran an Art Club at Hornsea School. His wife Thelma who was a member of Hornsea Art Society (and a good artist in her own right) donated the cup for the School Art Prize upon John's death. Sadly Thelma past away on 29th of April this year but before this she was contacted by the Art Society and was delighted to know that the Cherry cup was still being awarded.
