Using 360-degree photography our expert guides will bring Manchester’s literary heritage to life via an online tour.
From the Morning Room and Study, to the Drawing and Dining Rooms, you’ll learn about Elizabeth’s family life; how William, her husband, supported her and how her life in Manchester influenced the books she wrote and made her famous throughout the world.
