Fabulous intersection of my interests in history and nature. More of this! Has anyone looked at the Black Poplar in history?

This is a lady who should be better known. The school she started ie St Leonard’s saw many girls who became militant suffragettes through its classrooms - Louisa Garrett Anderson, Helen Archdale, Lady Rhondda and the two I’m researching- Helen and Kitty Tolson. And maybe a few more.

We have a 1908 certificate awarded by Emmeline Pankhurst (possibly seized in evidence by the Met), Habitual Criminals Register sheets for her and Sylvia (similar records are at the National Archives) and two courtroom sketches of her. #HeForShe #IWD #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2026 #suffragettes

An elaborate illuminated certificate signed by Emmeline Pankhurst on 16 September 1908 on behalf of the WSPU. It was presented to Florence Haig, Maud Joachim, Elsie Howey, Mary Philips and Vera Wentworth for their prison sentences and hunger strikes.

In a circle at the top are two figures blowing trumpets and a third holding a banner reading "FREEDOM" in front of blue mountains. Below it is the inscription with an elaborate large gold "TO" at the start. The whole background is covered by a floral motif with the suffragettes' symbols of prison bars and a prisoner's arrow.

Emmeline's HCR sheet from her CRO record, including a photograph, the remark "Suffragette", a note of her discharge under the so-called 'Cat and Mouse' Act of 1913, and a list of her convictions (the first of which was on 14 May 1912 at the Old Bailey, nine months for conspiracy).

Sylvia's HCR sheet from her CRO record, including a photograph of her at an easel, the job "Artist", the remark "Suffragette", a note of her discharge under the so-called 'Cat and Mouse' Act of 1913, and a list of her convictions (the first being on 24 October 1906 at Westminster Police Court for "Insulting behaviour", 24 shilling fine or 20 days' imprisonment).

A William Hartley sketch showing four people in the dock at Westminster Police Court in 1912, namely (from left to right) Mabel Tuke, Emmeline Pankhurst and Emmeline and Frederick Pethick-Lawrence. He is in a suit and all three women are in large and/or elaborate hats. The two Emmelines have their hands in muffs.

Mabel Tuke was honorary secretary of the WSPU and friend of both Emmelines. The lesser-known Emmeline had founded and edited the publication Votes for Women whilst her barrister husband Frederick published it. The image probably relates to the three's trial for window smashing - the husband and wife had disagreed with that tactic and Frederick had even been expelled from the WSPU for doing so.
