Biography

Jane / Johanna Acton came from the Acton Scott family estate, which has a history that goes back to the 1200's. The Acton family continue to live on the 1,500-acre (6.1 km2) estate and have worked it since the twelfth century. Today, there is a working farm on the estate that gained some notariety from BBC 2's "Victorian Farm." (See [Acton Scott] "Visitors to the farm can take part in various workshops and courses on such activities a turning butter, hand-milking cows and herding live-stock. Many skills such as bodging, forging, pole-lathing, wheel and brick-making are demonstrated."

Jane's last name is usually given as Acton with her father's last name as le Scott. Johanna may be the Latin form of her name; many books and manuscripts from her time period were written in Latin, thus giving most people at least 2 variations on their name.
