Women of Peterborough walk
A queen, a war heroine, a nurse, a butter seller, a Saxon
princess, a woman who tried to introduce inoculation long
before anyone else ... rich and poor, eccentric and humble, find
out about the women who touched the life of this city with this
fascinating walk.
Discover the story Lady Mary
Wortley Montague, who brought a method of inoculating people
against the killer disease smallpox back from her remarkable
travels in Turkey. Find out the truth behind the propaganda in the
story of Edith Cavell, a nurse who was shot for helping British
soldiers escape from behind enemy lines during World War I. These
and many more remarkable stories will be told on this walk.
