Canon Rawnsley Lecture


 

Canon Hardwicke Drummond Rawnsley 

He was a co-founder of the National Trust; a friend of John Ruskin, a protégé of Alfred Lord Tennyson, a member of Beatrix Potter, a Chaplain to King George V; with his first wife Edith, a founder of the Keswick School of Industrial Arts; a happily marrying, thoughtful man – these are among the facts we know about Hardwicke Drummond Rawnsley, residentiary Canon of Carlisle Cathedral from 1909 until his death.

Dr Rosalind Rawnsley 

Rosalind Rawnsley, ex Arts Administrator, is a poetry recitalist, translator and lecturer.  As a mature student, gained a Ph.D from the Victoria University of Manchester in the history, philosophy and psychology of education.  Has edited several books, and has contributed articles to various journals, and with Dr. Michael Allen is joint author of Hardwicke Drummond Rawnsley – An Extraordinary Life, 1851-1920 (Methuen, 2021) a new extended biography of Canon Rawnsley, joint-founder of the National Trust, of whom she is a great-grand-daughter.

The lecture will start at 4.00pm in the Fratry Hall following Evensong in the Cathedral and pre event refreshments in The Cathedral Cafe.
