On the day there will be a short guided heritage tour around Cockington Country Park and a temporary exhibition within the Visitor Centre, as we aim to showcase some of the amazing and inspirational women who have lived in Cockington Shire through the ages. These women include a Victorian philanthropist who founded many charities, including the NSPCC; one of the first registered female pharmacists practicing in the UK; Cockington estate and Cockington village workers; Ladies of Cockington Estate; and a Victorian spiritualist.
