Biography

Winkworth spent most of her life in Man­ches­ter, Eng­land. The not­a­ble ex­cep­tion was the year she spent in Dres­den, Ger­ma­ny.

She is re­mem­bered for her nu­mer­ous trans­la­tions of Ger­man hymns. More than any oth­er sin­gle per­son, she helped in­tro­duce the Ger­man cho­rale tra­di­tion to the Eng­lish speak­ing world.
