Talk:Lady Ottoline Morrell

Untitled

It's not clear whether Morrell had a child with her husband or with Bertrand Russell. --ESP 08:24, 31 Jan 2004 (UTC)

It appears this is a duplicate entry? There is also Ottoline_Morrell in wiki. Authoresque 21:05, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Photos by Lady Ottoline Morrell

With the passing of Lady Ottoline Morrell's works into the public domain, a large number of photos taken by her of famous people have become freely available. You can see high-resolution versions of several hundred of them at Commons:Category:Lady Ottoline Morrell, obtained from the National Portrait Gallery, London. She was just an amateur photographer and pretty bad at it, but for many of these people they're the only public domain photos available. I've been extracting images of such people from her photos, and some are shown below. There are also some photos including her taken by an unknown photographer, which I haven't categorized yet. Feel free to use any of her photos in the article. Dcoetzee 03:48, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Need clarity about Eric Gill

The article states: "Her memorial in St Winifred's Church, Holbeck was carved by Eric Gill." But a caption says: "Monument to Lady Ottoline Morrell by Eric Gill in St Mary's parish church, Garsington" Is there only one monument with a mistake made in one of the statements or are there two memorials? The article could use some clarity. WikiParker (talk) 12:49, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Pronunciation

I thought it was MORRell, not MorrELL, which latter I assumed was influenced by the double-ell, which leads some people to say PurCELL or (Edith) CavELL. Today I heard it authoritatively asserted that her branch of the family pronounced it MorrELL to distinguish itself from the vulgar brewing part. And more: the brewers apparently pronounced it MURRell.

I think it's Ottoline, not Ottoleen (like for example Caroline), but have heard Ottoleen. Any offers? Snugglepuss (talk) 15:27, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

Degree

'the Duke sent her to study political economy and Roman history at Somerville College, Oxford, but she did not earn a degree.' Was it even possible for a woman to be awarded a degree at this time? Snugglepuss (talk) 16:37, 13 May 2026 (UTC)
