Mariquita Tennant

Her father was commander of the Miquelets of Organyà between 1821 and 1823 during the Trienio Liberal and, under the command of Francisco Espoz y Mina, who at the time, was Captain General of Catalonia, fought the royalist troops supporting Ferdinand VII of Spain.

[2][3] Back in London, with the assistance of William Gladstone, she published a book of her late husband's sermons.

[1] Weale was a great help and in their spare time she documented not only the lives of the women they took in but Tennant as well.

[4] Weale returned to her home in Dorset, but she continued to support the work by employing women from 'The Limes' as servants at Whitchurch Canonicorum.

In February 1860 Tennant died in Clewer and she was buried in the St Mary's Church graveyard.

[2] Her social work in Clewer was continued by the Community of St John Baptist, the 'Clewer Sisters'.
