Mrs Lee Update Alan Payne June 2019
My attention has been drawn to the following extract from the Box Parish Magazine of May 1926 which has an entry concerning Rachel Amelia Lee (nee Oakroyd):
Mrs Lee of Spa House, Middlehill, has presented the (Box) School with a wonderful collection of specimens illustrating life in other lands and a beautiful picture of Rheims Cathedral. The visit of Mrs Lee to the School brought to mind the thoughts that to make children happy is to go at least half way towards a happy and smiling nation … Appreciation is expressed for the gifts, and indebtedness for the visit.[1]
