According to the donor, the woman portrayed here is either Alice Bullen or Catherine Scrivener, both daughters of Joseph and Catherine Bridgman of Greenough. Can you recognise her?

When did you last visit this museum? For 45 years, this was a traditionally static local history museum. Now the place is being transformed to become a true community ecomuseum. Rediscover the house and the collection and wander through the gardens. You will be pleasantly surprised.

To the Greenough Museum,
This is Catherine Gale Bridgeman born 7-3-1844 in Burghclere, Hampshire, England.
Her parents were Joseph Bridgman and Catherine nee Baggs.
She was first married to Daniel Baughanin Greenough in 1863,then to Richard Scrivener in 1867 then to William Cowling in 1913. She is my second great grand Aunt.
Hope this is of some help.
