CLARK, Kit
As Katherine Constance Waller, she was born at Ipswich in 1939, daughter of Revd Trevor Waller (25 November 1904-24 December 1995) and his wife Nora Mary Waller, a sister of Wallace Mortimer Morfey, who married at St Matthew's Church, Ipswich on 11 September 1935 and in 1939 were living at Debenham Vicarage, Suffolk. Kit, as he was known, spent her childhood in Debenham and Waldringfield, both in Suffolk where her father was the local rector. She was educated at St Mary and St Anne School, Abbots Bromley, Staffordshire before training as a Nursery Nurse at St Thomas’ Babies Hostel and was a State Registered Nurse at Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge. She married at All Saint's Church, Waldingfield on 17 July 1964, Joseph Christopher Clark, an officer in the merchant navy, and is now known at Kit Clark. After her marriage they returned to live at Waldringfield where Kit spent many happy hours painting with her mother Nora and sister Julia in the Suffolk countryside. To improve her craft in watercolours and oils, over the years Kit has had tuition from many well-known Suffolk artists including June Nelson Metcalfe, Peter Burman, Ken Cuthbert and Yvonne Drewry and her work has been exhibited with the Ipswich Art Club. At their home in Waldringfield, her husband Joe, on his retirement, became a proficient picture framer and from where Kit managed the Waldringfield Art Group.
