1892 Kildwick watercolour
(courtesy of Margaret Yao)
This rather nice watercolour, showing the west end and bell-tower of Kildwick Church, was painted by Millie Clough in 1892, when she was just 15.
Matilda (Millie) Clough was born in Crosshills in 1877. In 1898 she married William Green of Farnhill and they set up home at 33 Main Street, Farnhill, where William ran a butcher’s shop.
Between 1898 and 1912 they had six children, 4 boys and 2 girls, including Eric Green who was one of the Farnhill WW1 Volunteers.
