The medieval Hare Pilgrim in St Mary's, Beverley, was probably known to Lewis Carroll and so, it's said, inspired John Tenniel's March Hare – or the White Rabbit.

@murielzagha @Brendan_m_Hodge Discussion with members at our annual convention in York last weekend drew a blank on Harriet. Hard to beat Dame Harriet Walter.
@PatriciaDublin Thank you. We did. Excellent papers and readings and lots of good discussion. We have wonderful members. Attendees came from UK, North America and Europe.
We are at the University of York for our Annual Convention. So far we've had talks on CSLewis and DLS, the North York Moors, transatlantic flight and DLS's marriage to Mac Fleming in 1926. More anon when we've caught our breath.
@Brendan_m_Hodge This post was discussed at the annual Convention of the Dorothy L Sayers Society in York last weekend. General (a few dissenters) consensus: TH would be a good fit. Re Chief Insp. Parker and Lady Mary most agreed: Bertie Carvel and Lucy Boynton. Harriet? Jury still out. Discuss
