In August 1824 Harriet Martineau and her brother James stayed with her during a walking tour of Scotland, In December 1826 John James Audubon says he met her and was fascinated by her very red nose due to excessive rouge.

' I went to Mrs Welbank, Albany Street, to dine with William Gregg - Dr Gardner was there - Mrs Welbank has a Red Nose. - Now, when I say red, I do not mean to say that it is covered with that soft downy, velvety light substance that I often have seen and felt on thine, composed of a Bloom of pure White, with a thought of vermillion - Not I - I Infer that the strongest decoction of the little Insect called cochenille would only be a very poor color compared with the Truly red colored Nose of the Lady here mention - This redness extends from the center of the ridge, off and over the cheeks, the forehead, & the chin in rich profusion, and along with the Cap, the Ribbands and the Dress, I thought that Nothing so very red had ever met my Eye before - She is aimiable, however, and so are her Daughters and so, Lucy, never mind the Color!'

Mrs Godfrey Hirst and her sister Mrs Dighton were in the habit of scandalously going to theatre alone, and had met two soldiers and eloped to Ripon with them. Mr Dighton sued Mr Watts for alienation of affections, asking for damages of £5000, but the defendant's lawyer argued that Mrs Dighton already had a poor reputation so Mr Watts had not been the one to cause damage to her husband. "I understand they [Mrs Godfrey Hirst and Mrs Dighton] are now following a life of direful infamy" Numerous witnesses testify to Mrs Dighton's and Mrs Hirst's scandalous ways. William Welbank esq testified in the trial on behalf of Mr Dighton, who he said had always shown affectionate regard to his wife. The jury awarded damages of £1,100. The trial was written up in Sporting Magazine: or, Monthly Calendar of the transactions of the Turf, the Chase, and Every Other Diversion Interesting to the Man of Pleasure, Enterprize, and Spirit, (Volume 24, Rogerson & Tuxford, 1804) so probably was widely read about with great fascination. John Gough Nichols describes them as "the unfortunate Hirst family" and says they have lost all pretensions to respectability by mixing with plebian blood and low persons. Mary Anne also had a brother Francis who inherited the Golden Lion Inn and partnered with a "low person" and had eight illegitimate children with her before eventually being persuaded to marry her in his demented final years.

Francis Hirst was the landlord of the Golden Lion in Northallerton. Another brother Henry was a solicitor in Northallerton, Jonathan was in business in Hull, Edwin was a farmer. (the Topographer and Genealogist Vol 1, John Gough Nichols, 1846, which says that Francis had eight illegitimate children by a "low person" and brought the family into disrepute).

Other Events and Attributes:

• Note: It casts significant fresh light on Mrs. Gaskell's influential inner circle of friends, adding to our appreciation of her writings and of her life. The book uncovers some of the mysteries of Mrs. Gaskell's key relationships, most notably concerning Miss Mitchell, who has previously been misidentified in the Gaskell biography. Given Mrs. Gaskell's statement that Miss Mitchell was one of the two principal influences in her life, a deeper understanding of this shadowy presence and the figures around her is vital to our understanding of the author. ["You have done me so much good, dearest Nim; more than any one else in my life, - (that I'm aware of) except my own darling Aunt Lumb, & Miss Mitchell" letter to Mrs Emily Shaen, 27 Oct 1854] Existing orthodoxy identifies Miss Mitchell as Rosa Mitchell, a visiting governess in the Gaskell household. However, the Miss Mitchell mentioned repeatedly in Mrs. Gaskell's letters was in fact Rosa's much older sister, Janetta Bishop Mitchell. Janetta, born in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1791, is further shown to have been a confidante not only of Mrs. Gaskell but also of Harriet Martineau. Miss Mitchell is mentioned in Harriet Martineau's early letters in the 1820s - working in Norwich from 1821-25, Janetta became close to both Harriet and her mother and remained in contact with them when Harriet gained literary prominence in the 1830s. Janetta Mitchell's fascinating and itinerant life is charted, demonstrating her close links to Unitarian communities across England. Janetta was an example of the many sophisticated women with few material resources who, despite remaining unmarried and culturally invisible, nevertheless found their own paths in 19th-century society. Mrs. Gaskell's Personal Pantheon is available from October 2020 (Edward Everett Root Publishers Co. Ltd) ISBN 9781913087463 hardback / ISBN 9781913087470 ebook / 229mm x 152mm, 256pp., fp. 12 b&w illustrations.
