#34 A Woman Who Knew Her Worth & A Farmer Who Got Left Behind (Mary Girling & Hannah Hauxwell)

Welcome back to Mostly Unsung, your weekly history podcast! Looking for a light hearted commute listen or interested in the history they don't teach in schools? You're in the right place! Join best friends Annie and Andrea as they delve into the people in history that until now have been Mostly Unsung....mostly!This week come along with Annie as she joins a new religious movement in Victorian Britain. The 'Jumpers' may not be around today, but in their day a small but dedicated following headed out to the New Forest to start a new society. A society focused solely on one woman. Be ready for prophecies, stigmata and a lot of...jumping!Then Andrea is in Yorkshire... AGAIN. On a lonely wind-swept hillside, one woman is struggling to keep her tiny farm alive. With no electricity, no running water, no money coming in, you'd be forgiven for thinking we were two hundred years ago, but this was in the mid seventies! Life was pretty bleak, until a word of her life spread all the way to a TV company.Andrea used these sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Hauxwellhttps://www.yorkshire.com/inspiration/features/hannah-hauxwell/?srsltid=AfmBOorwJm56OUpVLM1StIacv8gDAQNoYeZMYjEwzGz0QHKt4gSlN4muhttps://www.countryfile.com/people/historical-figures/wild-people-dales-farmer-hannah-hauxwellhttp://www.fordefables.co.uk/a-day-with-hannah-hauxwell.htmlAnnie used these sources:https://www.bbc.co.uk/hampshire/content/articles/2005/03/22/newforestshakers_feature.shtmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_GirlingWhere you can find us:https://www.instagram.com/mostlyunsung/https://www.facebook.com/share/16J4vuMy1h/https://www.tiktok.com/@[email protected] you next Wednesday!
