Miss Maria Helena Turner

Also known as: Miss Maria Helena Turner; primary name: Turner, Maria Helena; other name: Miss M.H. Turner
Details: individual; British; Female
Life dates: 1863-1954
Address: 50 St Helen's Road, Hastings in October 1944 46 Eversfield Place, St Leonards on Sea in March 1948
Biography: Donor to the Museum in 1944 and 1948. She was the great-grand-daughter of one of J.M.W. Turner's (q.v) uncles (John Turner, 1742-1818) and inherited many things from the family collection, as did her elder brother Charles Mallord William Turner (1859-1934). She never married and her donations to museums and galleries included substantial gifts to the Tate, NPG, NMM and the town of Hastings where she lived. Her gifts to the BM included a marked copy of the Turner sale catalogue of 1873-4 (in P&D library; see 1944,1014.223). (This information kindly supplied by Cecilia Powell.) For the gifts, see Hind's letter to her dated 4 October 1944 (which makes it clear that it was an old collection mostly kept in frames or a revolving stand) and report dated March 9, 1948.
