 Polly Bagnall is an artist, researcher and writer.

Polly is the leading expert on the history and legacy of Ferguson's Gang, the secret group of women who promoted rural conservation in the early part of the twentieth century. Polly's grandfather, nicknamed 'The Artichoke' was the Gang's architect, and Polly grew up at Shalford Mill, Surrey, the first property the Gang saved from demolition.

​

Polly is also a practicing artist. Her work falls into two categories- landscape painting, and experimental abstraction. 

Her work is held in collections across Europe, USA and UK. 

She lives and works in London and Sussex.
