So here is a rather lovely slice of (probable) #LGBT history that @PickardJE and I stumbled across as we walked around
Brompton cemetery yesterday: this grave is the resting place of a pioneering midwife, her parents, her sister - and a woman called Rosabella, "their friend".

When I got home, I sent the photo to Heidi Thomas, who's a beloved friend: I knew she'd love both the the connection to the midwives and also the intriguing "their friend" and what it might say about these pioneering women's lives.

Heidi did some more digging and discovered that both had never married, and were probably women of means, and that by 1911 Rosalind and Rosabella were living together at an address in Chelsea, 28 Sloane Court. Both single, aged 56 and 58 respectively.

(either I or Twitter has messed up the threading on this - it continues here https://twitter.com/katebevan/status/1362026698787721220)
