Florence Colman

Florence was the youngest child of the family, and she documented their lives not through writing, but through embracing the medium of photography.

She married Edward Boardman, an architect and the son of renowned Norwich architect Edward Boardman (the elder Boardman was the architect for the conversion of Norwich Castle into a museum in the late 1800s).

One of Florence and her husband's many projects was the purchase and transformation of 800 acres of marshland, where they built a house and gardens and planted thousands of trees.

Known as How Hill, the site is now a nature reserve and the home of the How Hill Trust—the Environmental Study Centre for the Norfolk Broads.
