Biography
Born in Kings Newton, near Melbourne, Derbyshire, Bates was the daughter of George Bates and his wife Emily Pentecost. Her father was a lace merchant who made money from the sale of mosquito netting.[1] Her family moved to Wilford in Nottinghamshire, where in 1911 it was living at a house called the Grange.[2] Bates attended the Nottingham School of Art and exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1910 and 1934. She was a distant relative of both Laura Knight and Harold Gresley.[3]
Bates died on 20 December 1962 in Costessey, Norfolk, aged 76, although still living at the Grange in Wilford. She left an estate valued at £6,836.[4][3]
