Spinster, of No Occupation?

Mary Ellen Shaw 1859-1926 devoted her life to alleviating poverty and disease in Nottingham. As well as working as a teacher, she ran Girls’ Evening Homes, Mother & Baby Guilds and Sunday School classes for ragged pupils as well as visiting prisons, hospitals and workhouse wards. She is best remembered for her Men’s Bible Class which, with the backing of the Duchess of Portland, offered support to hundreds of working men.
