Founder of the Kensington Society, lived at 18 Kensington Square. When she failed to stop the replacement of some houses in Young Street with an aggressively modern multi-storey car park she formed the Society and together the community had greater success with future proposals. She was the first Honorary Secretary, a position she held until 1995. She then edited the annual report until 2000, when she became a Vice President of the Society. Died in Kensington.
