Life story

Life story

Charlotte (Lottie) came from a family of agricultural labourers and was born in Saffron Walden. Her parents were James and Ann Wright. In 1881, Charlotte was one of ten servants in the household of Arthur Penrhyn Stanley, Dean of Westminster, who is believed to be the source of the character "George Arthur" in the novel Tom Brown's Schooldays. In 1882, Charlotte married Robert Walter Dunn, a verger at Westminster Abbey. He had been widowed the previous year. They had no children. By 1911, the couple had moved to Abbey Side in Tarring Road, Worthing. Robert died here in 1917. Charlotte died in 1925 aged 85. No probate.
