A Sheringham lifeboatman's artwork celebrating 200 years of the RNLI has raised more than £600 for the charity. 

Chris Taylor has volunteered as a lifeboat crew member at Sheringham RNLI for more than 24 year. 

Now, a special linocut print he created to mark the RNLI's 200th anniversary has raised more than £600.

“I didn’t expect the prints to be this popular but to make money for a charity so close to my heart while doing something I love is a real pleasure," Mr Taylor said. 

"The RNLI exists solely on donations from the great British public with over 146,000 lives saved since 1824 by RNLI volunteers.

"The money raised from the sale of these prints will help in some small way towards the RNLI continuing to save lives at sea."

His reduction-cut lino print used multiple colours over different layers - each layer being cut away once that colour has been printed.

Ten copies of the original print were made and sold online and he is now selling Giclée prints of the original design, which can be ordered at www.christaylorphoto.co.uk
