More on Etheldred Benett

A reader has sent the following information:-
"You might be interested to know that there is a copy of Etheldred Benett's book in Bristol City Museum's Geology Department. It was given by her to the Bristol Institution -in fact, she gave it twice as the first one went missing from the stagecoach from Warminster to Bristol! In the same year (1831) she gave the Institution a selection of fossils from around Warminster; the Museum may still have some of these, but they can't now be identified."
