The development's name commemorates Norman Painting OBE and his valuable contribution to Age Concern Warwickshire which became Age UK Warwickshire, as patron and supporter.
Its CEO from those days, Elizabeth Phillips, continues to be a driving force.
Paintings Plantation is maintained by Age UK Coventry and Warwickshire volunteers in partnership with Campion Academy with support from the town council and local businesses.
