The Mothers’ Union has reached 150 years in age with supporters all round the world. Millions of people are helped by the MU.

Mary Sumner founded the Mothers Union at Old Arlesford – the PW passes near New Arlesford to the south.

Later Mary, wife of a bishop, lived at Farnham Castle on the PW.

She died in Winchester on 11 August 1921.

This Sunday 9 August at 2.30pm flowers will be laid on her tomb outside the east end of Winchester Cathedral where she will be remembered at Evensong.

***The Mothers’ Union has ‘three pillars of impact’: Ending injustice, Ending Violence, Ending Poverty.
