Ann's Mourning of Anne

Discover the ways Ann implicitly and explicitly mourned Anne Lister after her death in 1840. Read this new blog by Diane Halford

This blog seeks to show the ways in which Ann Walker explicitly and implicitly mourned her wife after her death in 1840. She would not have been able to grieve in the way we would expect a widow to do so due to the lack of acknowledgment and acceptance of the true nature of their relationship within wider society. These facts are based on primary resources found in the archives. Anne’s Death and…

Also visited the final resting places of Anne Lister and Ann Walker. It’s a shame they’re not together after being together against all the odds of the time ☹️

Anne Lister is interred at Halifax Minister and her memorial stone was found during renovation works in 2000. They don’t know exactly where she’s buried in the minister, but they know the general location. Apparently there are plans to make a replica of her memorial stone, which as you can see from photo is damaged.

Ann Walker is buried at St Matthews old church, Lightcliffe. She was buried under the pulpit of the church, but the church was was demolished in the 1970’s. The grounds are maintained by an organisation called Friends of the Friendless Churches. There is an official plaque in the church yard but someone has marked the spot where the pulpit would have been ❤️

Marian: It’s past ten o’clock, where have you been? It’s dark out!

Anne: *walking away clearly not giving a shite*

Well, Marian, since you’re so eager to know, I was busy over at light cliffe trying to get my hands into miss walkers tightly knit drawers.

Marian: I- what?

Anne: Which is more than I can say for you!

Marian:*dumbfounded*

Deadass, that is one of the most gorgeous houses I've ever seen. Why was Ann Walker kept from us again?

As I literally have all the time in the world on my hands, I'm delving deeper into my research of Ann Walker. She was more than just Anne Lister's wife, and I want to give her spirit and soul justice too.
