A WOMAN who has painted in oils for about 80 years and made her living painting portraits, is staging an exhibition at Watlington library.

Margaret Peach, 87, who lives in the town, has created In Search of Medieval Cuxham. It comprises her own paintings and those by friends.

She graduated from Reading University in 1960 with a degree in Fine Art and lived in Kelso, Scotland, with her husband, Brian, for about 40 years.
