Kettles Yard hold the biggest collection of works by the Cornish artist Alfred Wallis, presented in humble surroundings as if it were a home including antique furniture. 

Jim Ede founder and owner of Kettles Yard "an art gallery or museum, nor ... simply a collection of works of art reflecting my taste or the taste of a given period. It is, rather, a continuing way of life from these last fifty years, in which stray objects, stones, glass, pictures, sculpture, in light and in space, have been used to make manifest the underlying stability."
