Regrettably, and with much personal sadness, we have to inform you of the sudden death on Thursday 17th June 2010, after a short illness of our dear friend Sarah Price.
Sarah featured frequently in our customer gallery as a miniaturist and also ran her own web site, St Hilary’s Miniature Church and blog, which many of you may be familiar with. Sarah and her husband Andrew also travelled around fund raising events with St Hilary’s church, giving away 1/12th scale items in return for donations to various charitable appeals.
Sarah very often discussed new ideas for St Hilary’s Miniature Church with Frances, which led to many other inspirations, some of which eventually became pages on Sarah’s web site. Unfortunately Sarah never had the chance to start the romance between the Vicar and Miss Enid, leading to an eventual wedding, as she had planned, although if you look closely it was hinted at in various pages on the St Hilary’s web site.
The main characters in the church though were always the children (and animals), Sarah often encountered problems with inventing her storylines, as the children could never age, but it didn’t stop her writing plausible web pages in the end.
We are sure you will join us in extending our deepest sympathies to her husband Andrew and sister Catherine at this very sad time.
