Descendants’ Gift Painting to the Charity
Written by: Sam W· 13 March 2018
Elizabeth Fry’s descendants, Angela & Simon Kendall kindly presented the Charity with a copy of a painting of Elizabeth Fry. Angela and Simon were accompanied at the presentation by Robin Gambles (the Charity’s ex-solicitor and a relative of Elizabeth Fry) and John & Margie Milward (an ex-Trustee).
The framed copy of the painting depicts Elizabeth Fry’s visit to Newgate Prison in 1816. Angela and Simon re-told stories of Elizabeth’s remarkable life. Robin brought the presentation to an end by reading the days entry from Elizabeth Fry’s book of daily readings.
We would like to thank Angela & Simon Kendall for this wonderful gift, now fondly hanging in the hostel.
