Rosie Morris

Rosie Morris was born in Minsterley, Shropshire, England, where a number of maidens’ crowns are hung in the parish church of Holy Trinity. Driven by a passion for history and the arts, she has participated in life-long learning, completing a BA (Hons), BSc (Hons) and Master of Philosophy. Her interest in maidens’ crowns led to a quarter of a century of academic research, brought to fruition in this volume. She is especially grateful to Sylvia Mueller-Pfeifruck and Juliane Lippock from Germany, Tatjana Bradara from Croatia and conservators Jim Spriggs and Sarah Kingsley for their chapters in this book.
