"One forminable lady...." Wisbech Things to Do Tip by sourbugger

Not to be confused with Fanny Hill, Octavia Hill was a lady of extreme Victorian worthiness. Sometimes referred to (somewhat clumsily) as the 'Florence Nightingale of Victorian social housing', this lady certainly led a very full life.

As one of the co-founders of the National trust, her house has now become a museum to both her and the organisation she worked hard to bring into existence.

Entry is a couple of quid - and you are supporting a very worthwhile charity.
