William Heath Robinson, cartoonist

Heath Robinson became a byword for something that was done in a rather unusual, often slapdash, way - though youngsters today may not be aware of the phrase.  William Heath Robinson was a talented artist, who developed his skills in cartoons, often about very topical subjects, but often showing some very surreal ways of doing things.  Below is an example of how to make holes in gruyere cheese!  He lived in Cranleigh for several years, so has a local connection.
