Anne Trevett
Just as many are thinking of slowing down as they begin their retirement Anne did exactly the opposite and put her immense energy and skills into numerous community projects in Salisbury.
We are all about sharing the achievements of women past and present who have made a difference to our city or indeed the wider community. Meet female builders, cutlers and publicans as well as doctors, gardeners, artists and authors. Our articles about historic women have been written and researched by our volunteers while on the contemporary side volunteers have been recording interviews with inspirational women for you to listen to.
Inspired by our project The Salisbury Museum celebrated the women of Salisbury in 2023 with a Her Salisbury Story Exhibition. Find out more here
