On the sunny morning of Tuesday, January 21st Wakefield Soroptimists again assembled and rolled up their sleeves to ensure the grave of one of Wakefield\u2019s unsung women was cleared and cleaned the grave and tidy for Spring. The grave in St John\u2019s Churchyard, Wakefield is that of local 19th century artist Louisa Fennell, which soroptimists helped to clear and plant with spring bulbs last year. Louisa (1847\u20131930) was an English watercolour painter, best known as a painter of landscapes and townscapes in the West Riding of Yorkshire, particularly Wakefield, her home town. As part of the Forgotten Women of Wakefield project a blue plaque to celebrate her life and work has now also been placed in St John\u2019s Square. Find out more about the Forgotten Women of Wakefield project we are actively involved in supporting here<\/a>\u00a0. Wakefield Soroptimists are committed to ensuring that her talent is remembered. We await the re-arrival of the spring bulbs, pictured here as they bloomed last year a welcome sight in any churchyard at this time of year, for now she is once again remembered.<\/div>\n<\/header>\n<\/div>\n
