Statue hopes for Lonan feminist

The mother of the best-known suffragette could be getting a statue in her home town.

Miner's daughter Sophia Jane Goulden was born in Lonan and was the mother of Emmeline Pankhurst.

When Tynwald sits this month, Garff MHK Daphne Caine will ask the court to support a campaign to build a statue to her memory in Laxey.

Those behind the campaign say they hope to pay for the monument through donations.
