Isabella Louisa Parry b. c.1801

Also known as Lady Parry, Isabella Louisa Stanley
  • Artist (Draughtsman)
Isabella Louisa Parry was a sketcher and collector. She arrived in Sydney with her husband in 1829. It appears that Parry, in consultation with her husband, designed and drew the plan of the Agricultural Company's chapel of St John at nearby Stroud. She also had a collection of insects and butterflies which she intended to send back home to England from Port Stephens, but mice ate them all.
