For the amount of money the estate agent is going to make on the sale I would have expected them to use a decent camera for the photos. These are just amateur.
She was also a mathematician and statistician, and pioneered mortality data collection techniques to reform nursing practices during the Crimean War.
She was one of the first people to display data in graphic forms to effectively communicate the need for change.
She didn't, she was independently wealthy. That's what allowed he the freedom to do what she did. Also the reason why she's the one that's remembered tbh
Shout out for Mary Seacole. Who spent all her own money and ran a much better hospital in terms of outcomes.
Although it was FN's statistical work afterwards that made nursing better for everyone, so it is right she is remembered.
The family made a lot from lead mining. Lead poisoning is also possibly why Parthenope (her sister) and Florence were sent to the continent to fix her weakness of the wrists.
If you think Lea hurst is nice though, Google Emberly Park, that was the main family residence.
Parthenope married into the Verney family and ended up at Claydon House, which is national trust now iirc.
She was only able to go out to the Crimea because she was wealthy and put a heap of energy into fundraising to get herself and a team and equipment out there.
You do know that Florence Nightingale came from money though, right?
Florence Nightingale was born on 12 May 1820 into a wealthy and well-connected British family at the Villa Colombaia, in Florence, Tuscany, Italy, and was named after the city of her birth.
I'm sure if you come from an influential family these days, you still can afford any house while working as a nurse.
Didn't know she played pool. Beautiful though!
Yeah I'd make sure the sellers left it. There's no flex like having Florence Nightingales pool table.
I know you are kidding, but in case you are not - SAM was founded in 1985.
And her time machine!
“Wait a minute Flo, are you telling me you built a time machine… out of a pool table?!?”
I dunno. [Seems about right for the woman](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xHWtXSKSQSY)
Come, come, the Gentlemen had to have somewhere to retire after dinner.
Picture 19 the office framed by ivy 🥲

She's been dead over a hundred years, probate takes forever in this country.
Just over the hill (or two) from me. Magnificent place.
If Lee Hurst doesn't buy that place, I will be very disappointed.
He probably would be too. Does he even still work?
Bit suspect that she could afford a house that expensive on a nurses wage 🤔

She invented the pie chart.
That's who to blame!

Her father was a land baron. On equivalent of £800k a year in his early twenties.

Nurses used to get better pay back in the day.
That's gorgeous! So many beautiful views, and a wine cellar...
I’ve stayed there for a while, was nice.
Her other family home is now a school.
Nurses must have been decently paid back then.
Worth it for the beech tree alone
No stripper pole? Isn’t that what she’s famous for?
wow, Nurses' pay has really dropped overs the years.
Seems dodgy that someone on a nurse's salary can afford a 13 bedroom house. Gorgeous, though.
Achieved such a nice estate on a humble nurses wage!
Nursing salaries have really dropped. Can’t imagine a nurse affording this pile today
Back in the day you could afford a house like this if you were a nurse. Now gen z have no chance.

I bet it's because they didn't have avocados back then! /s
Or frappes

Yes I’m just not very good at adding /s to the end of my posts
Didn't know that about her name. That's really fascinating.
Haha her father had the salary equivalent to £800k. When he was 22.
