From Burton to Beveridge: Bloomsbury's Great Groundbreakers

Featuring twelve notable Bloomsbury figures, this walk aims to highlight creative breakthroughs in science, medicine, adult education, social policy, political activism, literature, business and museum collections. The makings of creativity in these fields lie not only, or not necessarily, in imagination or artistry but in curiosity, originality, initiative and responsiveness to human needs. Seeing hidden connections can also be a major factor as can discovery in more general terms. Creative figures are distinguished above all by a clear, intense vision, which also gives them a sense of mission. They know what their purpose is in life and strive to fulfil it. This benefits other people, not only as individuals but collectively. Creativity is capable of being very far-reaching.
