Mary Clarke

It was published last month. The link is below. http://www.prestonpages.com/brightonhistory/recognising-heroine

We are so grateful to Marion and to the magazine editor who generously agreed to run the story, despite the fact she’d published something about Mary in September 2020. 

Please read Marion’s lovely article and show it to others if you can. Also, please let us know if you can think of other publications, however grand or humble, which might publish articles about Mary.

]]> 1786 Community Magazines Call for Public Subscription to Fund the Statue https://maryclarkestatue.com/news/community-magazines-call-for-public-subscription-to-fund-the-statue/ Wed, 23 Sep 2020 22:08:39 +0000 https://maryclarkestatue.com/?p=1405 We are very grateful to local magazines The Post, Preston Pages and 7Directory. They have not only featured long articles about Mary and the Appeal, but have also made the campaign their cover story, using wonderful images of Mary and publicising  the fact that the design and rough maquette (model) of the statue-to-be are now complete. 

We are especially grateful for the Editorial which read: “We are so proud to have the history article about Mary Clarke this month and want to thank Jean Calder and the whole team for their work to recognise and record this brave woman properly. It would be especially wonderful if the statue were erected by public subscription – a genuine expression of our pride in a hitherto unknown local heroine”.
