  • Elizabeth Mounsey - "Queen of Patterdale"

    mentioned in Dorothy Wordsworth's Grasmere Jounrals, 21 December 1801 -
    �When we were at Thomas Ashburner's on Sunday Peggy talked about the Queen of Patterdale. She had been brought to drinking by her husband's unkindness and avarice. She was formerly a very nice tidy woman. She had taken to drinking but that was better than if she had taken to something worse (by this I suppose she meant killing herself). She said that her husband used to be out all night with other women and she used to hear him come in the morning, for they never slept together...�.
