ACLE - Key Persons
Nelson was a British naval commander and national hero, famous for his naval victories against the French during the Napoleonic Wars.
He was born on 29 th September 1758 in Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk. Nelson was the sixth of eleven children. He joined the navy aged 12, on a ship commanded by his uncle. He became a captain at 20 and saw service in the West Indies, Baltic and Canada.
As a commander he was well known for bold action, and the occasional disregard of orders from his seniors. His most famous engagement, at the Battle of Trafalgar, saved Britain from threat of invasion by Napoleon, but it would be his last. Before the battle on 21 st October 1805, Nelson sent out the famous signal to his fleet ‘England expects that every man will do his duty'. He was killed by a French sniper a few hours later. His body was preserved in brandy and transported back to England where he was given a state funeral.
Anna Sewell was born on the 30 th March 1820 in Great Yarmouth. Her parents were Quakers and soon after they left Norfolk and moved to London. However, she and her brother Philip made frequent returns to Norfolk to stay with their grandparents, who lived at Dudwick Farm in Buxton. It was here that Anna first learnt to ride.
Anna wrote ‘Black Beauty' at a house on Spixworth Road in Old Catton and it was published by Jarrold's in 1877. Anna was bed-ridden from 1871 to 1877 and wrote the book on slips of paper or dictated it directly to her mother.
Anna died shortly after ‘Black Beauty' was published so she never lived to see the popularity of her creation. She died on the 25 th April 1877 and was buried in the Quaker Cemetery in Lamas.

Edith Louisa Cavell was a British nurse during the First World War. She is celebrated for saving the lives of soldiers from both sides and in helping over 200 Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium.
She was born on 4 th December 1865 in Swardeston, a small village not far from Norwich, where her father was the Reverend.
In 1896, Edith began her training at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel. After completing her nurse training in 1898, Edith held a number of roles in British hospitals before returning to Brussels, where she had once lived, to nurse a sick child.
At the outbreak of war Edith was at home in Norwich visiting her family. She told those closest to her that "at a time like this, I am needed more than ever" and made plans to return to Belgium.
Edith cared for all the wounded, regardless of nationality. Edith soon began to work with others to smuggle the Allied soldiers under her care, out of the hospital and across the border to neutral Holland. It is believed that she saved the lives of over 200 men thanks to her bravery.
