The Kate Watson Story,
21 March 2024

A chance sighting on the BBC Antiques Roadshow inspired one of our volunteers, Judith Booth to find out more about Catherine Watson and her artistic background.

Come along on Thursday 21 March to discover how Judith pieced together Kate’s remarkable story of bravery, self sacrifice and artistic talent and found out more about the lives of working people of North Berwick harbour at the end of the nineteenth century.

Judith’s talk will begin at 7.30pm in St Andrew Blackadder Church Chapel area, St Andrew Street, North Berwick EH39 4NU. Doors open at 7pm.
