Constance Naden Grave Appeal The Constance Naden Trust has raised money to replace the destroyed gravestone of one of Victorian Bi Hers was a uniquely interdisciplinary Victorian voice.

Constance Naden may rightly be described as one of Birmingham’s most illustrious daughters. Naden's insightful and witty poetry and polemical prose writings regularly drew upon her wide-ranging scientific education at Mason College (now the University of Birmingham) where she was honoured as the first female Associate. A gifted poet, philosopher, and scientific thinker, Naden was at the forefront

of women's intellect progress at the end of the nineteenth century. Her memory and her work live on in the University of Birmingham where the Constance Naden Medal is awarded. Yet her gravestone and memorial, in the Jewellery Quarter’s Key Hill Cemetery, lie in a sad disarray of broken fragments as can be seen from the photo above. It is clear that it is past the point at which restoration can be undertaken, and a new memorial has to be created. Such a rehabilitation of Naden is no more than she deserves, cementing her place as a notable Victorian thinker and daughter of Birmingham.. To facilitate the replacement of this broken memorial, the Constance Naden Trust has been formed. The Trust is inviting donations in order to raise the £4,000 needed for this important contribution to Birmingham’s cultural and intellectual history. The Constance Naden Trust
