| Administrative History | Hannah More (1745 - 1833) was a writer and philanthropist. Along with her four sisters, More ran a boarding - school for girls and she wrote works, relating to morality, women's education and their role in society. Her engagement to William Turner, of Belmont House, Wraxall, between around 1767 and 1773 was unsuccessful. More had close connections with David and Eva Garrick, Elizabeth Montagu, Joshua Reynolds, Dr Samuel Johnson and Edmund Burke, as well as many other notable figures. In 1775, More was invited to her first bluestocking literary party at Montagu's house in Hill Street. |
