This weeks #FromTheArchives theme is #SchoolFirsts. Amy Locke was the first Swithunite to be awarded the #CharlotteYonge university scholarship which was set up in 1899 and provided the means for more @StSwithunsGirls to go to university.

What's happened to @EdoardoFanfani 's blog? The #CharlotteMYonge Fellowship would love to find out more about the history of #AllSaintsRome , as many of this Victorian High Church bestselling novelist's characters would have worshipped there during their visits to Rome

@alliancelitsocs @m_yonge any chance of a retweet of this? The Macmillans' relationship with Charlotte Yonge is just one of many literary friendships that members of the ALS might be interested to hear about. I am available for talks or articles!
#AlexanderMacmillan was #CharlotteMYonge 's publisher and friend. @RuthCarlyle @Penelop08807042 @shelvesofbooks @SarahJWknits @VictorianWeb

Henry Fawcett, husband of Millicent, was #BornOnThisDay in 1833.
He was appointed Postmaster General in 1880 but died suddenly in 1884. Millicent, only 37 at the time, received this letter of condolence from Queen Victoria.
