Elizabeth “Lizzie” Arkell

Lizzie manages a busy household. The Arkell family is very involved in local agricultural affairs and raises purebred Cotswold sheep and Berkshire pigs. Lizzie is active in the community too, frequently attending school and church events and helping her friends with quilting. Her sister-in-law Annie assists with Lizzie’s children and the continuous supply of food needed, as visitors are always dropping by. Additional information about her activities and busy household can be found in her husband William’s diaries.
