Discovery and Lifecycle Species People and Manor Catalogue Mewingham Manor Greenwich Workshop



As a well-bred lady, Edwina Fitzhugh-Von Stetina was a part of good London society - until the bequest of Mewingham Manor from her uncle. Once there, she discovered Felinus avianus and largely retired from social life. Victorian ladies were rarely considered professionals, but Edwina's journals contain a scholarly wealth of information on the tiny species. She was devoted to discovering more and began to travel. Edwina disappeared in the Amazon following a local legend about a black-winged Felinus avianus living solely in the canopy of ebony trees.
