Dr Mike Brew, honorary curator, Tenby Museum and Art Gallery, and Mr. David Hughes, chairman of the trustees, are seen receiving three watercolours from John Tipton on behalf of Mrs. Margaret Green, of Wells. They were the work of Mrs. Green's great-aunt, Isabella Lucy Wilcox, who was born in 1850.
Isabella's sister, Georgina, was the wife of Egerton Allen who, after retiring from the legal service India, settled in Tenby, eventually living in Norton House. He was closely involved with the museum in its early years and his papers, on the genealogy of Pembrokeshire families, are preserved in the archives.
Isabella and another sister, Mary Dorothea, moved to 9 The Croft, Tenby, and after Egerton Allen's death, the sisters lived together at Norton House until they died in the 1930s.
The paintings, of St. Catherines' Rock, the North Beach and Waterwynch, were painted before Isabella moved to Tenby, the one of St. Catherine's before the building of the fort, when she was a teenager.
Mrs. Green and her brothers, whose parents were on government service in Africa, used to spend their boarding school summer holidays with their great aunts in Tenby and the pictures, preserved in the collection in memory of those happy days, will rekindle the connection and the long association of her family with the town.
