Charlotte Mason – a name perhaps only known in Cumbria because of the Charlotte Mason College in Ambleside. Yet there is so much more to know about this woman’s life and legacy. Faye Morrissey, Manager & Curator of The Armitt will introduce us to Charlotte Mason’s fascinating story which travels across the country, spanning north to south and back again. Discover how she helped to shape a home education movement during the late Victorian period and how it still has relevance today. This is the history of a remarkable person who should be remembered amongst the other people connected to Cumbria.
