[Vwoolf] Lady Anne Clifford

[Stuart N. Clarke]

Yesterday, I re-visited Skipton.  Lady Anne Clifford, Countess of Pembroke, Dorset, and Montgomery (1590–1676), was born at Skipton Castle in Craven in the West Riding of Yorkshire.  She renovated Holy Trinity Church, Skipton, and restored the castle after the Civil War.

By the way, anyone who wishes to pursue n.80, a Yorkshire background for “Wuthering Heights”, will find Whitaker’s ch. here:

See also “The Reader” in VW Essays VI (and a couple of refs in Vol. V).



In July, in Appleby there will be a whole month of events dedicated to the Lady Anne Clifford:
