Catalogue description Picton-Turbervill, Wilfrid

Edith P-Tvill in later life. Her life with Mrs Gibbins in Cheltenham. Her recreations in later life. What she looked like, as viewed by her nephew (Wilfrid) and his wife. Her strong personality made it necessary to stand up to her, says Mrs Legge, her residuary legatee (who was also present at the interview). Her impatience. Her love of reading. Her interest in her family and its history. Edith's siblings. Her rather loud voice. The family told stories about her, but affectionately. Her lack of domestic skills. Her dislike of small talk. Her health. Her last illness, and attitude to old age, a sort of Indian Summer. Her attitude to property.
