Hello,

My name is Jon Rounce and I live in Worthing, West Sussex, about 12 miles West of Brighton.

 

My brother Chris and I have been admirers and collectors of Archibald Peddies work for several years.

We own about 40 of his works between us and his pictures hanging on the walls of our homes always bring us great pleasure.

 

When I began looking for more information on Peddies life I became frustrated at the lack of information available.

 

I couldn't find many of his pictures on the Internet and any information on his life was very sparse.

 

I thought that Archibald deserved better, and decided the best thing I could do was to create a website with as much information as I could find and then hope that in time people finding the site would be able to 'fill in the gaps'.

I have no information on his early family life and only the one photograph at the top of the Biography.

​

I know he was in the Parachute Regiment during WW2 and I will investigate this further in the near future.

​

I know he had children and grandchildren but have no further details.

​

I would also like to find out more details of his teaching career and also more about any exhibitions he took part in.

​

This website has been set up to keep Archibald Peddies legacy alive and to bring his paintings and biography to a wider audience.

​

I would be delighted to hear from anyone who knew him, or has stories, photos or further information about his life.

​

If you have pictures by Archibald that you are happy to share on this site then please send photos (preferably with a camera or high resolution mobile phone), and if possible please include the size, date and title if known.

​

Many thanks,

​

Jon Rounce
