Dimbola Museum and Gallery, the former home of Julia Margaret Cameron in Freshwater, Isle of Wight, has renamed its main gallery space the Colin Ford Gallery. In a ceremony at the end of a two-day convening celebrating and exploring Cameron, her life and work, Sue Grayson Ford, Colin's widow, spoke about Colin's legacy and involvement with Cameron and inveiled the name plaque that will be installed in the gallery.
Colin Ford CBE was the first Head of the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television and a scholar of Cameron. He had supported the setting up of Dimbola as a permanent museum celebrating Cameron and her circle, and co-authored the Julia Maragaret catalogue raisonné. Colin died in December 2025.
