Bobby Baker's acclaimed intersectional feminist practice includes performance, drawing, and installation. It persistently exposes the undervalued and stigmatised aspects of women’s daily lives, exemplified by pioneering works such as Drawing on a Mother’s Experience (1988) and Kitchen Show (1991), which the Arts Council Collection recently acquired. Current and forthcoming projects include the Hayward Touring exhibition Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood at Dundee Contemporary Arts (19 Apr–13 Jul 2025); An Edible Family in a Mobile Home (1976) remade in 2023 as part of Women in Revolt! Art and Activism in the UK 1970–1990 at Tate Britain, touring to the Whitworth, Manchester (7 Mar–20 Apr 2025). Established by Baker in 1995, 'Daily Life Ltd' makes art that explores and celebrates everyday life and human behaviour. Their work is rooted in Baker’s vision and art practice, and collaborators include like-minded artists and organisations across the arts, health, and disability sectors. Their mission is to lead advocacy for change in the way people think about women and the undervalued aspects of daily life. This includes celebrating age and experience and tackling misogyny and injustice in the mental health system.

This outstanding red brick school which is a Herefordshire landmark gothic building was built around the late 1850's . The school, among many other buildings and houses were under the George Jarvis charity, the school offered boarding since the day of opening, this was aimed for the benefit of children who came from a poor family. The building has had the American army stay there and is said to have been as a hospital for the Army at some point in it's history. It was also used as a Youth Hostel in the 1980's. It's no surprise that a building of this age with a rich history is rumoured to be so haunted . The locals often speak about the ghostly man looking out of the top floor window which they believe is the unsettled and angry spirit of George Jarvis who is believed to haunt the school, after all, his money was used to erect this public building which went right against everything in his will. George Jarvis, who left his massive fortune to the poor of Staunton-on-Wye, Bredwardine and Letton in 1793, demanded his legacy never be used to erect public buildings. In his will, George Jarvis stated: "My mind and will is that none of the said monies be appropriated in erecting any public buildings whatsoever." Former pupils of the school and staff have shared their spooky experiences , from things moving on their own accord in classrooms to ghostly legs being seen in the corridor. Most people that have been in this school have a story to tell. There are also some ghost books in circulation that feature the hauntings of this former school. The main school building has over 40 rooms across 4 floor levels, the cellars , Ground Floor, First Floor and Second Floor. Parking: On site Toilets and Refreshments:- Yes to both Times: 8pm-2am Venue Address The George Jarvis School School Lane Staunton On Wye HR4 7NF IMPORTANT NOTE School Lane is just off the A438, as you go up School Lane the driveway to the school entrance is on the right hand side and is about half way up the road.
