Ann Walker: From reclusive heiress to little Hercules of Shibden Hall
In the past year, a great deal of information has been uncovered that allows us to begin to see Ann Walker in a new light. The woman now emerging was much more than the shy heiress who made the commitment to be Anne Lister’s companion for life.
In this session, we will cover:
Ann’s relationships and their different dynamics
Her married life and adventures with Anne Lister
The hardships Ann faced after Anne’s death
What it’s like to research Ann Walker today
Whether you are just getting to know Miss Walker or you’ve already started to dig for more information about her, join Marlene Oliveira and learn more about this amazing lady who was by Anne Lister’s side from the Yorkshire hills to the breathtaking mountains of the Caucasus.

i prefer to see the speaker. i lip read . 53 minutes is a long time to concentrate when the text is unclear
On the first question asked in this video concerning Ann Walker's health (ie queer discomforts) In Helena Whitbread's volumes on Anne Lister, Anne writes often of her own treatment for a venereal disease she got from Mariana that Mariana got from her husband Charles. It was thought perhaps to be an easily passed disease, not syphilis or gonorrhea but 'Trichomoniasis' per modern medical suggestion per Whitbread. Lister also passed this disease on to Isabella. She was never given a cure only the odd treatments of the day. So it makes sense she would have infected Ann Walker as well.
Thank you for this!
Thank you for posting!

This is a fantastic effort, however very difficult to understand you. You speak much too quickly. Your words run together.
Did Ann Walkers sister Elizabeth ever find out about Ann and Anne's marriage?

Interesting presentation. I’m unclear, did you write a book about Ann Walker? I would love to read it.

Do you have any idea why Anne called Ann, “Adney”?

She seems to have been named after a Swiss bridge. Anne loved this bridge and had a small version of it built at Shipden. We see the carriages cross it several times in the TV series.
And the Walker legacy still exists. "Johnnie Walker" brand.
