Title:From 'Lady Woodcarvers' to Professionals: The Remarkable Pinwill Sisters
Originator:Wilson, H. M.
Date:2019
Summary:In about 1890 the Pinwell sisters took the audacious step of setting up their own company to become professional woodcarvers, competing for work in an almost entirely male-dominated occupation. They have come to be seen as some of the foremost woodcarvers in the West Country, with work in over 185 churches in Devon and Cornwall.
