Looking forward to taking my work to the Mental Health Museum Wakefield tomorrow.It a real honour to place my work against Mary Francis Heatons samplers, she showed great resilience I really admire her.Many people suffered from mental health in the nineteenth century and like Mary were not rehabilitated back to their communities, but held for many years in establishments like the West Riding Pauper & Lunatic Asylum.
