In 1934 Miss Jeanie Dicks undertook the 1st permanent electrification and heating of #Winchester #Cathedral, winning the contract over international competition. The appointment of the "girl engineer" (age 40) made the news across the globe. Electrifying the nave meant removing & reburying coffins - except for Jane Austen’s, which was moved gently to one side instead. Jeanie Dicks was born #OTD 25 Sept 1893 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanie_Dicks histodons group (npub1uc0…cpgf) CarveHerName (npub1shd…nqra) #wikipedia #electric
