Matilda Sharpe (4 April 1830 – 30 April 1916)[1] was a British teacher, educational reformer and painter who founded Channing House School[2] in Highgate Hill (after Robert Spears' idea) and Highgate Unitarian Chapel, both in north London. She was the daughter of Samuel Sharpe.
Sharpe was a talented painter and several of her portraits are in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London.[3]
