An installation featuring photographs of a 19th-century servant, who secretly married a man of letters and documented her 40 year marriage in a sado-masochistic relationship, have gone on show at the National Trust’s Fox Talbot Museum in Lacock.

“Hannah Cullwick was a cross-dressing, servant who revelled in dirt and sweat and willingly married her master and lived as a self-confessed slave – even licking his boots,” said Roger Watson, Curator of the Fox Talbot Museum.
