Sarah Grubb

Sarah Pim Grubb (11 December 1746 – 1832) was a businesswoman and Quaker benefactor[1] in Clonmel, County Tipperary, Ireland.

She was the first child of the wealthy Dublin wool merchant John Pim and his wife, Sarah Clibborn of Moate Castle.

Although a very wealthy family, the Grubbs chose to live very plainly and simply,[6] in the Quaker tradition, in their comfortable home at Anner Mills.

They provided hospitality to numerous Quaker travelling ministers e.g. Catherine Phillips, William Savery, Thomas Reddan and Elizabeth Fry.

[7] Grubb was greatly interested in social beneficence, a trait which combined with her business acumen, earned her the title 'the Queen of the South'.
