Elizabeth Wolstenholme Elmy

A podcast of me talking about Elizabeth on the Royal Radio Truelove show.

A look at two Moravian Christmas traditions that Elizabeth will have shared with other pupils at Fulneck School in the late 1840s. Today these traditions are still celebrated at the church and by pupils at the school.

A story of one girl’s night of horror, based upon laws that were applied throughout the country for over 15 years. For many women this horror was cruelly real and often based simply upon the suspicions of a policeman.

Pictures of Fulneck, where Elizabeth spent two years at school from 1848 to 1850. From here she went on to have a significant influence on the education of girls.

A quote from the Queen’s Christmas broadcast, 1966.

Across the country places open their doors for the National Trust Open Heritage day. It is a great way to step back into history and to celebrate so many wonderful places. Fulneck Moravian Settlement takes pride each year in sharing our rich history and welcoming people to learn more about the settlement,

Elizabeth played a key role in improving education for girls and opening up employment opportunities. Let us celebrate our young people engaging with education and remember too many girls around the world are still denied such opportunities.

A visit to Roe Green, Salford, puts me in touch with Elizabeth’s young life and her family.

Great news: the publication date for my book is soon … please join the celebration and make this a success, both for Elizabeth and the charities that will benefit from all money raised.
