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.

A room in the now demolished Crow Nest mansion in Lightcliffe - home of Ann Walker.

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*

no kiss ready in an hour fine morning F 44°. at 8 1/2 a.m. at which hour breakfast till 9 3/4 – read (till 10) from page 278 to 288 (read from page 270 to 278 yesterday) Parnell on roads – then with my aunt above 1/4 hour (better this morning) – then with my father and Marian till Throp’s son came at 11 3/4 to say he and his man had done planting in lower brea wood a 100 young oaks from Throp’s put in this morning – with Throp from 11 3/4 to 12 3/4  - then came home and found Washington who had brought a section of the intended water wheel and water drift – asked him for his valuation of Wellroyde and the Stag’s head Mytholm – mentioned the applications of Jonathan Mallinson and James Smith for the Mytholm farm land – Washington said 30/. per DW. were enough for the Mytholm brows - I made no answer – asked what could be done with Carr about the dam – nothing said Sam Washington and agreed with me the only way was to send Carr notice to quit, and do the dam next spring - I could very well put 2 acres to the dam – we walked over the new site of Engine pit and drift, and he made no objection – thought the present plan would do very well – would make no difference as to dam and level - the drift would always stand full of water - it must be worked with great care, and done by a working level 3 yards long – Charles Howarth senior could make it - Dam-embankment at this end would be 6feet high - to stand 4 deep of water, and draw off by a sluice to 2feet deep of water – Samuel Washington going to a Lightcliffe town’s meeting at the Poor house (called Bottom hall) and left him at Hannah Green’s door and turned in to see her about 2 or after – after much talk irrelevant as usual it turned out that Aquilla often asked if I had called and would have been dissatisfied if I had let the land without his knowing more about it! – said he might call again about it if he chose – could not conveniently come before Sunday – very well, I would not decide anything before then - I mentioned the plan of dividing between James Smith and Jonathan Mallinson - she told me I had not let to John Mallinson because he was a yellow – wanted to beg for Dewhirst to stay at Mytholm house and said Mr Wiliam Priestley and Mr Bateman were coming to me to beg for him - I said they would do as they liked but if all Lightcliffe came it would make no difference - I had passed my word and I should stand by it – However poor Hannah herself could not in the end say much against my resolve or for Dewhirst’s character about this girl he goes after but with no intention of marrying -
