| Keywords: outdoor Memorial plaque to Anna, wife of Richard Brome de Bary, on a wooden marker, beside the walls of St Wolfreda, Horton. The Snowdrop Anna Bunston De Bary Close to the sod There can be seen A thought of God In white and green. Unmarred, unsoiled It cleft the clay, Serene, unspoiled It views the day. It is so holy And yet so lowly. Would you enjoy Its grace and dower And not destroy The living flower? Then you must, please, Fall on your knees. " Anna became a schoolteacher and worked in Brighton, Sussex. In June 1910, she married Richard Brome de Bary in Hailsham. Richard was a clergyman and became private chaplain to Anthony Ashley Cooper, at St. Giles. In 1911, Anna and Richard moved to Antrim, in Ulster, Ireland then returned to the UK where they lived in the village of Horton in Dorset and Anna worked as a writer. Anna travelled extensively, visiting Spain, France, Holland, Italy; visiting Madrid, Toledo, Marsiglia, Angouleme, Amsterdam, Genova, Florence, Rome and the Garda Lake. She spoke fluent Italian and German and translated poetry from both languages, as well as writing numerous books – some in collaboration with her husband. Anna’s knowledge of foreign languages must have been impressive for during the Second World War, by then in her 70s she was invited to work for the War Office and was based in Liverpool....
