Publisher's Synopsis

In 1847, Westminster Abbey enjoyed a growth in visitors, attracted by the first marine aquarium in England - a collection of madrepores and sea sponges kept in glass cases at Ashburnham House. This is the story of Anna Thynne, whose creation coincided with a philosophical turning point in history.
