THE renowned Lunesdale artist William H Jones is giving up his Kirkby Lonsdale gallery.

William has run Finestra Gallery in Main Street with his wife Bernadette and daughter Lesley for the past 14 years.

The gallery is closing at the end of September due to retirement, although William plans to continue painting and will open his studio at Dairy Cottage, Fellside Farm, to the public.

Meanwhile, Finestra Gallery is holding a closing down sale.
