About This Event

When a branch of the London Foundling Hospital was established in Westerham in July 1760, Mrs Ann Wadham was tasked as its matron. Her role was to manage the branch, overseeing everything from the arrival of the children to the hiring of the staff. Come along and meet 'Mrs Wadham' as she shares a fascinating insight into how children in the hospital were looked after and what happened when they were poorly. For walks, talks and other events taking place as part of 'Our Place, Your Past', see other listings for Quebec House and Westerham.
