Biography

Jane Smallwood lived a full life spanning from 1754 to 1838, witnessing the transformation of Britain from the Georgian era through the Napoleonic Wars and into the early Victorian period. Her long life allowed her to observe nearly a century of change in English society, culture, and politics.

She was laid to rest at the Church of St Blaise in Haccombe, a parish church that served her community for generations. Her longevity and the span of her years provide a connection to a distant era of English history, and her memory is preserved in the records of her parish.
