The Emily Hobhouse Museum, Cornwall

This museum, located in Liskeard, Cornwall, commemorates the life of humanitarian and prominent anti-Boer-War campaigner Emily Hobhouse. From her birth in 1860 until the age of 34, Emily lived in the old rectory, which has since been restored to what it would have looked and felt like in 1875 when the whole Hobhouse family were in residence. Visitors can step back in time as they move from one room to the next, admiring the period furnishings, bold textures, and artefacts that illustrate a place steeped in historic and personal significance.
