 In the early 1960s the Great Bardfield art community fragmented and Clifford-Smith and his family moved to Little Baddow Hall near Chelmsford.During his time at Little Baddow he painted mainly thickly textured monochrome moon portraits.Following his death, the artist had several important exhibitions of his work; a retrospective at "The Minories", Colchester (November 1969), Little Baddow Hall Arts Centre (July 1979) and at the Fry Art Gallery, Saffron Walden (September/October 1998).
