In the spring of that same year, she also led a group of students on an ambitious three-week excursion to the Alps.\n\nFollowing her studies, Wilmot-Buxton embarked on a career in education, teaching at the Brighton High School for Girls. Alongside her classroom duties, she developed a prolific writing career, specializing in historical non-fiction books tailored for children. Her literary output also included contributions to short story collections and various translations of historical or literary works.
