Miss Havisham Restored
Eliza Emily Donnithorne, the model for Miss Havisham in Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, has had her vandalised gravestone repaired. A report on the current affairs show, The 7:30 Report, tonight showed the gravestone being repaired by TAFE students and stonemasons. It looks almost good as new. Donations from The Dickens Society and the Rookwood Anglican Cemetery made it possible.
The Sydney Morning Herald and the ABC also have the story.
Isn't that grand?
