Both William and Elizabeth taught art. William also invented plasticine whilst Elizabeth was a talented miniaturist. She exhibited at prestigious places e.g. the Royal Academy and Chicago's World Fair.

She was buried with her husband in St Nicholas' churchyard, Bathampton.

Today’s #niantic #wayfarer nomination is a stop-plank rack on the #KennetAndAvonCanal at #Bathampton. Made from bent tramway rails from the obsolete Avon & Gloucestershire Line, this rack stored the wooden planks used in the canal’s stop-gates.
I learnt what they were on the #BradfordOnAvon #museum website: https://www.bradfordonavonmuseum.co.uk/explore-canal
