Throughout March, for Women’s History Month, we’ve been looking at pioneering women and role models from the pastwhose stories inspire us today. But not all inspirational figures have lived in castles, challenged the status quo, or discovered something world-changing.
Some of the most inspiring people pack up picnics. They plan days out which fire the imagination, or they write books that spark a lifelong interest in someone. These women and men built our love of history, and therefore helped make the English Heritage team what it is. You won’t find some of them in the history books, but they have contributed to telling the story of England.
For our final Women’s History Month 2017 post, we wanted to share these unsung stories as a thank you. We asked our team who or what inspired them to love history: here’s what they said.
We’d love to know your answers too, so do let us know in the comments.
Kate Mavor – English Heritage Chief Executive
The person who sparked a love of history in me was undoubtedly my father. A great appreciator of historic buildings, he sought out heritage sites where we could picnic as a family and clamber over the ruins. With four children in tow, he would wander off round the site, absorbed in his own imaginings of plainchant or clashing steel. The sense of place and beauty certainly rubbed off on me.
On my wall at home, I have a perfect drawing of Glasgow Cathedral which he draughted from memory while away on national service – he was an architect manqué. He also loved historic artefacts such as Russian icons, antiquarian books, Roman sculptures, a piece of Bonnie Prince Charlie’s bedspread and buttons from a jacket worn at Culloden! I grew up in a home dotted with fascinating bit and pieces, all with their own stories, inspiring a life-long enthusiasm of my own.
