This is the last day of our seven threads about the life of #LadyMaryWortleyMontagu. We’ve loved sharing some of her amazing life this week. Then as now, “dialogue is very important, even if we have different ethnicities or religion, it’s important to sit together and talk.”

This is Anne’s son Christopher and it breaks my heart to inform you that earlier tonight Anne passed away due to complications resulting from a stroke. Below is the statement I shared on her Facebook page moments ago.

Today we remember the 383 men and boys killed in the worst coal mining disaster in English history. The 12th & 13th December 1866 are dark days in Barnsley's history, underground explosions at The Oaks Colliery left few survivors, the youngest victim was just 11 years old.
