| Dinah Mulock Craik(1826-1887) Dinah Maria Mulock was born in 1826 as the first child of a nonconformist preacher in Stoke-on-Trent. Dinah’s childhood and teenage years were affected by her father’s poor mental health and the debts he left for his family. Since an early age, Dinah was required to run a private school with her mother to suffice their daily need. After her mother inherited a huge fortune, they travelled the whole of Europe and moved to London in 1839. Dinah studied many different languages during their tour including French, Latin and German and developed an interest in music and art. In 1841 a poem on the birth of the Princess Royal appeared in in the Staffordshire Advertiser as her first publication. In 1845, Dinah’s mother died and she left a private school and her inherited fortune to her daughter and sons. When Dinah turned nineteen, she started writing poems and stories. Four years later, in 1849, she published her first adult fiction titled ‘The Olivigies’, which was dedicated to her mother. After this she wrote some twenty novels and her career reached the height with the publication of her novel 'John Halifax, Gentleman' in 1856. The novel is centred in 'Nortonbury' which is easily recognisable as Tewkesbury. The story is a narrative from a character Phineas, who is the friend of the leading character, John Halifax. He is an orphan and keen to make his way through the competitive world with hard work and honesty. Phineas' father, Abel Fletcher, is a tanner and Quaker and gives John a job. With his true determination and hard work he earns a lot of money and becomes a wealthy man. This novel made Tewkesbury popular as a tourist destination and Abel Fletcher's Mill, the former Abbey Mill catered luncheons and teas for visitors. In 1890 Dinah Craig was remembered with a Memorial plaque in the southern transept by the citizens of Tewkesbury. In 1865 she married George Lillie Craik, a partner in the publishing firm Macmillan & Company. In 1869 they adopted a foundling baby girl, Dorothy. At Shortlands, Kent, while in a period of preparation for Dorothy's wedding, she died of heart failure on 12 October 1887, aged 61. Her last words were reported to have been: "Oh, if I could live four weeks longer! but no matter, no matter!"
