The National Free Church Women's Council was founded, as Mothers' and Girls' Guilds, in 1908 under the leadership of Lady Herbert Lewis , O.B.E., for the purpose of rescue and preventive work among women and girls.
Today the National Council, together with local councils in many parts of the country, maintains homes for the aged, a maternity home for unmarried mothers, hostels for business girls and women, a home for girls needing special care, and a children's home.

Part 1

by Nikolaus Pevsner
2-Hogarth and Observed Life
Hogarth declared himself a ' Britophil ' and regarded foreigners as * interlopers.' His work illustrates, in Dr. Pevsner's view, several of the strongest and most enduring of English characteristics. He was intent upon the vivid reporting of what the eye had seen, and with it, to preach a sermon.
The English interest in narrative, fact, and detail, is contrasted with the Continental ' grand manner,' whether expressed in allegory or large religious * pictures. This interest has persisted certainly since the Early Middle Ages, when English artists working in wood, stone, and embroidery, produced work of a kind and quality not found elsewhere.
