New portrait unveiled of William the Chapel Cat
November 26, 2021
Artist Grace Maran has unveiled her portrait, commissioned by Rosslyn Chapel Trust, of William the Rosslyn Chapel Cat.
William was a very regular visitor, and a firm favourite for thousands of visitors, at the Chapel until he passed away in August this year, aged 17.
Grace said: ‘Having worked as a Guide at Rosslyn Chapel, I know the building very well and, of course, knew William very well. I was delighted to be commissioned to bring both together in this painting, which I hope will be a fitting tribute to William’.
The portrait will be displayed in the Chapel’s Visitor Centre.
