Objects of Substance – The Merle Weaver Prize for Public Spe

Ultimately, Miss Weaver’s enthusiasm and advocacy for girls’ education still speaks loudly across the decades. From the evocative memories inspired by Professor Howells’ 1956 Prize Book, to the powerful words of our most recent competitors, it is clear Mis s Weaver’s spirit carries Grammar girls with her even now.

Thanks for the lift, Miss Weaver.
