Betty in the frame for her 90th birthday
Miss Elizabeth Foster, known as Betty, taught art at the former Towneley Secondary School in Burnley for many years. She displayed more than 20 of her watercolour and oil paintings in St Nicholas’s Parish Church, Sabden.
Betty has long been connected with the church and many years ago created a sculpture of Mary and Jesus entitled “Mother and Child” which still has pride of place there.
