Saturday 18th January, 2020Glennis Whyte, “The Determined Ladies of Minster Yard”
The third talk of the 2019-2020 season sees the return of Glennis Whyte, a National Trust Volunteer Speaker, with her talk "Three Determined Ladies of Minster Yard".
Of the numerous Treasurer's House residents over the centuries, visitors tend to hear only about Frank Green, but other residents acquired international fame and respect. This talk unveils the lives of Jane Squire, Sarah Scott and Anne Morritt, who, connected by the property, were determined to overcome the 18th century restrictions imposed on women in science, literature and art.
