Bath Abbey Memorials: Unknown Names
Bath Abbey is full of unusual memorials commemorating life stories which have never been fully told.
Over refreshments you’ll hear some of these stories, including:
- The famous singer Anna Selina Storace who was Mozart’s friend and inspiration.
- Donnett Mary Paynter, a heroine of the Nursing Yeomanry in the First World War.
- Fletcher and Ann Partis, who founded homes in Bath for women in distress in the 1820s.
A tour of these memorials around the Abbey will follow.
