Morning #OurMazza

#MaryAnnMcCracken

1) You’ve heard about #MaryAnnMcCracken , but what about the other #WomenofthePoorhouse ? Today we’re focussing on Margaret Hyde, a.k.a. ‘Mrs Waddell Cunningham’. Her husband’s history @CliftonHouse is chequered, to say the least …

We were delighted to participate in Cathedral1/4ArtsFest. Two sold-out tours in perfect weather over the weekend. Our next Mary Ann tours will take place on 31 May & 1 June.

Next in our #WomenofthePoorhouse series is the Ladies' Opinion Book. After the last child left Clifton House Heritage Centre in 1882, women associated with the Poorhouse continued to enquire as to children's welfare & made regular reports back to Belfast Charitable Society until 1905.

Our next event Clifton House Heritage Centre with Catriona Kennedy is free, but tickets are going fast, so get your skates on! In-person and online tickets can be booked below:

STATUE of #MaryAnnMcCracken at #BelfastCityHall , #N .Ireland

Equality, Liberty & Fraternity & #WomansRights defined her as an abolitionist, as did her being the sister of #HenryJoyMcCracken (a Protestant & founding member of #TheUnitedIrishmen in the 1700’s).

Haven't been well, but I was not missing the installation of the statue to #MaryAnnMcCracken , which I proposed. Have worked for a decade on making our grounds more reflective. Today is a major step forward. A wonderful woman for #InternationalWomensDay

So honoured to attend the unveiling of the statue to revolutionary feminist reformer #MaryAnnMcCracken today at Belfast City Hall

On In Our Time 's episode on 1798, Catriona Kennedy described #MaryAnnMcCracken as one of Ireland's first feminists. Join us @cliftonhouse on 13 June where she will discuss Mary Ann & Martha McTier. Book your free place below.
