Artist Biography
William Gavin Ingram Pomeroy was born in 1929 in Newlyn. His family later moved to Mousehole after his grandfather passed away. The Pomeroy’s owned many properties in Mousehole, and were market gardeners.
In 1947, he started as an architectural student with Geoffrey Bazeley. Pomeroy later became a lecturer for Plymouth School of Architecture, and was encouraged by his wife to take this change of direction in his architectural career. By the time he retired in 1999, Gavin was the senior lecturer in architecture at what is now Plymouth University.
Throughout his life, Gavin never stopped sketching, painting (particularly watercolours and pastels that he either kept or gave to family and friends) and writing poetry. The Mousehole Archive holds the Pomeroy family history. Sadly, Gavin now has dementia, however, he has clearly led a very artistic and interesting life.
