Wolds Women of Influence credits - 2022
The Wolds Women of Influence Exhibition was first staged at Market Rasen’s Old Police Station in the summer of 2018 to mark a 100 years’ of democracy for women.
The new stories added to this website in 2021 are based on that real-world exhibition, which proved highly successful. In 2019 the exhibition toured (with a supporting talk) at Woodhall Spa Museum, Spilsby Franklin Hall and the Caistor Arts and Heritage Centre, in addition to the original exhibition and talks at Market Rasen Old Police Station. All these events had a brilliant reception and interest from a wide range of people. We are delighted that the Market Rasen Heritage Tour website is giving these stories a new home and giving visitors another reason to come to Market Rasen and explore its heritage by finding the plaques about town.
We are grateful to Lincolnshire County Council’s Community Collaboration Fund which has supported this latest development of the Wolds Women of Influence Exhibition.
We hope you enjoy the stories and that it inspires you to begin researching your own local Women of Influence.
