Wed 11th October, 6.30pm-7.30pm, The Hypatia Trust, Chapel Street.

Come and hear about a remarkable Cornish woman Elizabeth Carne who managed to study, research in the scientific field of the time, write and run a bank amongst other things while living in Chapel Street in Penzance.

‘Though well known in her lifetime’ writes Dr M. Hardie in her biographical notes, ‘she has dropped from sight in the welter of names of famed men of science that fill our Cornish history shelves.’

Do come and join us to explore her life further.

Talk given by Maggi Livingstone (Archivist at The Hypatia Trust).
