A SUPERB sell-out event was enjoyed by 66 people who were enthralled by similarities of two very talented people.  

Lillian Hope Bourne and Chris Chapman were close friends, but they also shared so much in common.

They both loved story telling, nature and the landscape of Exmoor.

More than that they both had through their own mediums the ability to convey the awesome beauty of the time and place.

Hope through her poetry, prose and painting and Chris through his amazing photographic documentary and landscape photography.

What a pleasure it was to enjoy both their gifts.  

It is certain both will leave behind a lasting legacy. 

The evening could not have taken place without the support of Chris Nicholl of Charlesworth Nicholl Quality Solicitors to whom Friends of Crediton Library offer their thanks.
