Richard Woodhouse

A life on Sweet Briar Marshes

Richard Woodhouse lives in Norwich close to the Sweet Briar Marshes. He's a familiar sight around the marshes with his camouflage clothing, long camera lens and mobility scooter.

​

As he explained to Finnish artist Tiitu Takalo for the On Our Doorsteps project, he's been coming here regularly throughout his life, since he was a small boy, drawn by his fascination with the wildlife he found at Sweet Briar and the beauty of the landscape. He's also a talented painter and photographer. His work captures something of his deep knowledge and love of this beautiful and nature-rich place in the heart of Norwich.
