An interesting email from Graham Stephenson of Scarborough who writes:
"I was recently shown three small books of watercolours by an elderly neighbour and friend and asked if I could find out a little more about them. The only clue was a note in the front of one of them that said ' To Katherine I Patteson, from her affectionate father - August 1872.

The artist turned out to be the neighbour's grandmother and the daughter of Henry Staniforth Patteson of Cringleford."
