Sir Terry Frost's creativity during his Banbury phase (from 1963 until 1974) includes some of his most creative and influential works. Yet take a walk around Banbury and you will find no evidence of the contribution he made as one of the UK's forerunners of abstract painting. Terry’s own account of why he chose to live in Banbury was that while travelling south he paused to munch a bunch of grapes while sitting on the wall outside the striking parish church, and decided there and then to settle in the town. So what better way to preserve the memory of a special man - or should I say "special artist" than to commission a bronze statue of Terry sat on a wall facing the parish church or a blue plaque on his former home!
