Celebrating the life of Bellis Member, Rosemary Harvey née Steed
We were much saddened to learn of Bellis member, Rosemary Harvey’s passing earlier this year.
In celebration of Rosemary’s life, it was a pleasure to meet up with two of her dear friends last week, Sol Green (Guild and Bellis, née Wicheland, class of 1984) and James Gardner.
At this year’s Cheltenham Literature Festival, and in a fitting tribute to Rosemary’s love of art, a group of Rosemary’s friends sponsored a talk on Constable and Turner. Sol Green later reported that the talk was excellent and remarked how much Rosemary would have loved it. So much so that Sol purchased a signed copy of Nicola Moorby’s book “Turner and Constable – Art, Life, Landscape” and had it inscribed “In Memory of Rosemary Harvey”.
We were touched that Sol decided to gift the book to College’s library, benefitting future generations of girls and ensuring that Rosemary’s memory will live on.
It was a pleasure to introduce Sol and James to Anne Muhlberg, College’s Librarian, when the book was presented and we had an opportunity to hear more about Rosemary’s life and interests.
Rosemary was a passionate advocate for College and we will always be grateful for her support.
Rosemary Harvey née Steed, 1958-1965, Roderic and Fauconberg.
