Elizabeth Gaskell's 'bustling life' filled 55 years of hectic energy as she combined the demands of a busy domestic life with those of a writer, achieving an international reputation that continues to this day.
In this latest exhibition you'll learn more about Elizabeth as a wife, mother and author within the family home she lived in from 1850-1865.
The exhibiton is included in your admission price.
On the second Sunday every month there is a second hand book sale in the house.
We always have new and second hand books for sale in our tearoom, but this is a chance to come and browse a wider selection.
The selection includes a variety of fiction, art, gardening, photography, classics, OS maps, biographies, history and much more.
Book donations welcome.
All proceeds to the Manchester Historic Buildings Trust.
