MAXWELL CHARNLEY ROOM

? - ?

Maxwell Charnley Room at Haughley Post Office, 4 Old Street, Haughley near Stowmarket. Before Maxwell Charnley died, the 63-year-old gave church council leaders £500,000 to invest into the village of Haughley, near Stowmarket. Maxwell Charnley (7 October 1943-26 November 2006), a solicitor of Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, was born and grew up in the Haughley and on his death left a total of about £1.5million to his favourite causes. The villagers used the £500,000 gift to purchase the post office and save it from permanent closure and opened an exhibition room adjacent to the Post Office and Malcolm Buntrock was the curator from 2014. Suffolk artists who exhibited at the Maxwell Charnley Room include Malcolm Buntrock and Greta Hansen.
