Born in England, Mary Rowlandson was brought to the colonies when she was very young. She had married Joseph Rowlandson, who was the Puritan minister for Lancaster.

At age eighteen, Chanel, now too old to remain at Aubazine, went to live in a boarding house set aside for Catholic girls in the town of Moulins. [5] Having learned the sewing arts during her six years at Aubazine, Chanel was able to find employment as a seamstress.

Shortly thereafter, she and Ted Hughes moved "to an English country village in Devon" ("Sylvia Plath (1932-1963)"). In 1960, their first child, a daughter named Frieda, named after Sylvia's beloved paternal aunt, was born, and in 1962, their son Nicholas was born.

From the ages of five to nine, Eliot went to school with her sister Chrissey at Miss Latham’s School in Attleborough, from the ages of nine to thirteen, she went to Mrs. Wallington’s School in Nuneaton, and from the ages of thirteen to sixteen, she went to Miss Franklin’s School in Coventry.

While at Miss Franklin’s School, “the atmosphere was religious and she was exposed to a quiet, disciplined belief opposed to evangelicalism” (as in “Britannica 1”). After the age of sixteen, Eliot received very little formal education, but she was allowed to use the library of Arbury Hall, where she was self taught.
