After attending a &#8220;Vocal and Miscellaneous Entertainment&#8221; at the Mansion House in Louth in 1838, she declared that she would become a poet and writer. And, a little
over a year later when her father, the Warden of Louth, carried out the old custom of distributing cloth to poor women, Charlotte wrote a 20-verse poem to commemorate the occasion. By 1847, she was well enough known that when the new railway station was built at Louth, she was asked to lay the cornerstone.</p>
<p>Charlotte married Charles Barnard in 1854, and they lived at The Firs in Westgate, though Charles was parson of St. Olave&#8217;s in Ruckland. Following Charlotte&#8217;s presentation at court in 1856, the couple moved to Pimlico in London. Among their neighbors was Michael Costa, conductor at Covent Garden, where Charlotte often attended.</p>
<p>Charlotte&#8217;s first published song was a musical setting of &#8220;The Brook,&#8221; by <a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_t_e_tennyson_a.html" >Tennyson</a>.</p>
