Charlotte Antonia Sulivan
1824 - 1911
Charlotte was born in 1824 and died unmarried in 1911 living during the reigns of five monarchs'. By the time of her death she was a very rich woman. She inherited Broom House and lived there alone (apart from her servants) for more than half her lifetime pursuing her interests: travelling and painting, natural history and gardening, as well as philanthropic projects in the area. She was a committed Christian and so took a great interest in the local churches. Upon her death she left a legacy that has continued to bless the local community to this day.
