Visit to Dunham Massey

A group of members visited Dunham Massey’s  Women and Power event which told the stories of the women (and men) who fought both for and against female suffrage.

 

 

They also heard about three women who have shaped Dunham’s history – Lady Mary Booth, the first and only woman to inherit and run the estate, Penelope Lady Stanford who made the decision to open the military hospital during the First World War and the longstanding housekeeper, Mrs Isabella Collins.

Thanks to Sue H. for arranging a most interesting and enjoyable visit.
