A former trainee teacher at Bingley College who died in August is to have her paintings sold to raise money for the church in which she worshipped.

Lillian Clark, who lived in Ribble Terrace, Settle, most of her life and died aged 104, devoted much of her spare time to recording the landscape and plant life of her native Yorkshire Dales.

Her medium was watercolour and her work was wide-ranging, from Dentdale to the Scottish Highlands.

At her request, about 50 paintings in her possession are to be sold and the proceeds given to St Alkelda's Church in Giggleswick, where she had worshipped since childhood.

The paintings will be exhibited with memorabilia, at The Folly in Settle, on a series of dates beginning with a preview - to which all are invited - at 11am on November 22.

Born in 1899, she trained as a teacher at Bingley College, where she was encouraged to spend most of her time in the art room. She was awarded a scholarship to the Royal College of Art in London but could not take it up, needing to earn a living to help the family's finances.

On view at The Folly will be a large painting of the Ribble when it was completely frozen.

Admission to the exhibition is free."
