Fanny and Eva's Diaries

While we visited the Centre for Kentish Studies yesterday we were able to look at Fanny Knight and Eva Knatchbull-Hugessen's diaries. This gave us a fantastic insight into their daily lives and the times they lived in. Some entries like the one in Fanny Knight's diary of her mother's death was very moving. How sad she must of been to have lost her mother at the age of 15 with so many little brothers and sisters to bring up.
