Collection GB 0074 LMA/4266 - BARNETT, Samuel AND BARNETT, Henrietta

1.06 linear metres

GB 0074 LMA/4266 1883-1932 Collection 1.06 linear metres Various.

Samuel and Henrietta Barnett were important figures in the social reform movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Samuel was the vicar of Saint Jude's Whitechapel, founder of Toynbee Hall, Whitechapel Art Gallery and the Education Reform League. Later he became Canon of Bristol and Canon and Sub-Dean of Westminster Abbey.

Henrietta was the founder of the London Pupil Teachers' Association, and is widely reknowned as the founder of Hampstead Garden Suburb.

The correspondence was purchased at auction in 2000. LMA is extremely grateful for the financial contributions made towards this by the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust, the Hampstead Garden Suburb Archive Trust and the V&A Purchase Grant Fund.

This collection consists of 186 letters sent to or written by Samuel and Henrietta Barnett. The correspondence is from public figures, including authors, poets, artists and other social reformers.

The auction lots in which the material was purchased is reflected in the arrangement of the collection. Within the lots there was no discernable original order, and so the letters were catalogued alphabetically by author. Some lots consisted of letters from groups of people e.g. artists, whilst others consisted of letters from one individual only. The sub-series descriptions reflect the contents of these auction lots:
A-1: Social issues;
A-2: Matthew Arnold;
A-3: Artists;
A-4: Herbert Henry Asquith;
A-5: Authors;
A-6: Robert Baden-Powell;
A-7: Edward Coley Burne-Jones;

A-10: Edwin Landseer Lutyens;
