“23for23” – Celebrating Lady Judith Montefiore
Now until September 2, Italianate Glasshouse, King George VI Park, Ramsgate
Exhibition open daily 10.30am – 4pm
The year 2023 marks the centenary of the appointment of Ramsgate’s (and Kent’s) first female mayor and greatest benefactor, Dame Janet Stancomb-Wills. To commemorate this, Ramsgate’s Working History have identified inspiring women from the town’s past whose contributions have sometimes been overlooked and lost to time.
The 23for23: Leading Ramsgate Women are pioneers and trailblazers in civil rights, politics, business and the arts, whose legacy has shaped not only Ramsgate, but also the world we live in today.
Lady Judith Montefiore (1784-1862) joins Dame Janet in the twenty-three.
As one of the first Jewish women who moved in royal and society circles, Lady Judith was able to advocate for the many philanthropic and humanitarian causes she and her husband, Sir Moses Montefiore, championed. She was a gifted linguist, who read Hebrew and spoke five languages. A talented writer who penned the first Jewish cookery book in English, she produced a series of extraordinary journals of extensive travels across Europe and the Near East.
Local historians will be available during the exhibition for questions about Lady Judith’s fascinating life.

The Pull of the Tides
September 2-30
Main Space, Liminal Gallery, 34 Fort Hill, Margate
Liminal Gallery presents ‘The Pull of the Tides,’ a two-person exhibition by painters Anna Blom and Emma Richardson. The exhibition delves into the depths of human emotion, nature’s mysteries, the interplay between the conscious and unconscious realms and the passage of time.
Emma Richardson’s intricate paintings draw inspiration from water as the source of life and its dual nature of fear, calm, and intrigue. They resonate with the ocean’s rhythmic pulse, mirroring the interplay between the conscious and subconscious.
Anna Blom’s paintings delve into co-existence and its emotional echoes. Blom’s diaristic approach, characterised by layers of sketches, white noise, and writing, culminates in semi-abstract observational portraitures.
All are welcome to join the opening of ‘The Pull of the Tides’ on Saturday 2nd September 5-8pm.
