- Summary:
- The diary concentrates on the religious and charitable activities of the diarist. Westminster Abbey was part of her parish. She is especially enthusiastic about one of the canons of Westminster Abbey, H Hensley Henson. She tends not to comment on the sermons of the canon but does quote part of them. 'The canon quoted Richard III's soliloquy in his tent, on conscience.' She complains when he repeats sermons. She speaks of her social life such as working parties, concerts, etc. She also mentions 'a great women's suffrage demonstration' and includes mention of a visit to Winston Churchill's Wedding in 1908.
