The Bank of
England is looking for a portrait for the new £50 note, not that I expect to
use many or any of them. They say that for this one they want a scientist.
My candidate
is Mary Ward and I would like others to vote for her.
The voting form is here
and you tick yes for scientist and yes for deceased and then enter the name.
Comment may be made but is not necessary.
Wikipedia has
a page if you would like information about her. The National Trust has more on its Castle Ward pages.
I don't recall ever handling a £50 note but I'll vote anyway. Robert Hooke perhaps.
ReplyDeleteMrs T, God bless her, was a scientist too.
ReplyDeleteIf not Maggie, how about Mrs Ayrton?
