A M W Stirling
A.M.W. Stirling (18651965) was the author of several books dealing mostly with the lives and reminiscences of the British landed gentry of Yorkshire. She was also the founder of the De Morgan Centre for the Study of 19th Century Art and Society. Her name at birth was Anna Marie Diana Wilhelmina Pickering, the daughter of Anna Marie Wilhelmina Spencer-Stanhope and her husband, Perceval Pickering. She was the sister of Evelyn Pickering de Morgan and the niece of John Roddam Spencer-Stanhope, both pre-Raphaelite painters, and her writings are a uniquely valuable if sometimes questionable source of biographical information for them.
