Controversy over termination of filmmakers' contract rages on
The granddaughter of renowned Wigan artist Theodore Major has explained why she is now refusing to allow his work to be exhibited at Haigh Hall when its £50m renovation is complete. In a statement, Ruth Owers said she ‘cannot in good conscience’ agree to the Appley Bridge artist’s £200m collection being shown.

“We cannot in good conscience entrust the Major family collection to an organisation that would treat anyone in such a way. My mother Mary would never have continued with this project had she been alive to witness what has happened.”
