Some of the rich Cornish women in the past were benevolent and generous. They used their money and property for charity. Here's Elizabeth Carne. She was born in Phillack near Hayle. Her family were Methodists with business in mining and banking. She founded several schools in and around Penzance – for teaching the poor people, girls and boys together, for the progress of society. (Often only the boys went to school.) She also built a museum in Penzance for her father's mineral specimens - she was a mineralogist herself as well.
