Annie Brassey
Brassey Institute, 13 Claremont, Hastings, East Sussex, TN34 1HE
The Brassey Institute, now known as Hastings Library, is often linked to the town’s former Member of Parliament, Lord Thomas Brassey (1836-1918). However, it was his remarkable wife, Lady Annie Brassey (1839-1887) — a celebrated authoress, intrepid world traveller, and avid collector — who played a pivotal role in shaping the institute. Her contributions ranged from curating exhibitions to hosting functions and chairing events. She was even credited with the benevolent donation of the institute to the town in 1887. Come and join us to learn more about the extraordinary Lady Brassey, the collections and the building itself.
