Memorial Tablet in Bristol Cathedral

In Memory of CATHERINE WINKWORTH Who, in her Lyra Germanica, Rendering into English verse The treasures of German sacred poetry, Opened a new source of light, consolation, and strength In many thousand homes.

Her works reveal a clear and harmonious intellect A gift of true poetic insight and expression, And the firm Christian faith Which was the mainspring of a life Rich in tender and affectionate ministration And fruitful in various fields of active service.

Her loss is mourned by all who shared her labour, And by the many friends whom death has bereft Of her rare sympathy, her wise counsel, Her bright companionship, and her unfailing help In every time of need.

To commemorate her work, and to perpetuate Her efforts for the better education of women, A scholarship, bearing her name, Has been founded in University College, Bristol By friends who now dedicate this table To her memory

Born in London, September 13th, 1827 Died in Monnetier, Savoy, July lst, 1878
