About Sister Wendy (1930-2018) – nun, art critic and unlikely TV star
“Sister Wendy” as she was universally known – a.k.a. Sister Wendy Beckett, variously described as a broadcaster, art historian, art critic, consecrated virgin and hermit – died yesterday age 88 at her home and sanctuary at the Carmelite Monastery in Quidenham in Norfolk.
Sister Wendy’s lecture on Stanley Spencer, she was great – and funny.
