She was an intellectual eccentric who became a bride of Christ after receiving a First Class Honours degree at the University of Oxford. Her faith sustained her throughout her long life, living as a hermit in a caravan in East Anglia and teaching for two hours a day to make a living. She became an unlikely television star in later life with her in-depth knowledge of art and viewers warmed to her sincerity and her ingenuousness atypical of many of today's television personalities. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46687275
