Roofing & repairs

Testimonial:

“It is with pleasure that I recommend Paul and Allzones Roofing Services. We encountered a problem at our residence over the last winter during the large snowfall with an ingress of water in two dormer window areas. We requested quotes from two well known roofing companies and were told we require a completely new roof at an exorbitant sum of money. Thank goodness we had someone refer us to Paul. He identified the problem as being poorly fitted felt and loose tiles which were pushed up by the snowfall & freezing weather. He and his men attended immediately and corrected the situation at a fraction of the cost quoted by the previous two companies

It is truly wonderful to meet a tradesman who is not only extremely honest but very proud of the work he performs. I am quite confident that any who employs this company will be very pleased with the final result.”

Short Pooh Walk – 0.6 mile/1 kmLong Pooh Walk – 2 miles/3.25 kmAshdown Forest is the real place where Christopher Robin, a boy, Winnie-the-Pooh, the most famous bear in the world, and their friends grew up together.

These Pooh walks explore some of the places of their best-known exploits.

From Gills Lap car park walk north, away from the road junction, on the wide ride. Pass a bench and after about 250m you reach a clump of tall pine trees (Gills Lap) on your right - The Enchanted Place. The concrete, surveyor’s triangulation point is 669 feet/204m above sea level.

Gills Lap, Galleons Lap in the Pooh stories, is the Enchanted Place on the very top of the Forest where they could sit down without worrying about prickly vegetation. From here their ‘expotition’ to discover the North Pole set off, but we make a diversion before following the footsteps of the explorers.

To continue, turn left and descend on a narrower path to reach the Heffalump Trap, a small hollow in which a Lone Pine grows.

Some say that the hollow was Pooh’s Cunning Trap to capture that rare beast, the Heffalump. Some will say that it was somewhere else. Readers of the Pooh stories may remember that the Heffalump Trap was close to the Six Pine Trees, not a solitary pine.

Could it be that this Lone Pine is all that remains of the Six? In the stories Piglet digs the pit whilst Pooh went to get honey to bait the trap. Could Piglet, a very small animal, dig a pit big enough to fit a Heffalump? A carefully disguised Heffalump trap in the garden of

The shorter walk takes you to the Enchanted Place & Sandy Pit and is suitable for younger children. The longer walk descends to the North Pole and Eeyore’s Sad and Gloomy place.

With Grateful Thanks to the Ashdown Forest Centre and Conservators for allowing us to reproduce their walk leaflet (edited version below). There are other walk leaflets available at the Forest Centre, Wych Cross.

his real home brought disgrace upon Christopher Robin when Mrs Tasker, the gardener’s wife, caught her foot in it.

Backtrack about 10 metres, turn left and follow the ride for 250m to the Milne and Shepard Memorial in front of you.

The Memorial commemorates AA Milne, author of the Pooh stories, and EH Shepard, the illustrator. As Christopher Robin was to write in later life, this was where his father sat and where Pooh sat too; now we can see what they saw.

On leaving the Memorial turn right and in 25m is Roo’s Sandy Pit, a disused quarry, on the left (not so sandy now).

Although Baby Roo played happily in his Sandy Pit, it was the supposed site of Pooh’s dark moment, the kidnapping of Roo to force Kanga and Roo, the newcomers to the Forest, to leave it forever. As in all the best stories it ended happily.

To complete the shorter walk return to Gills Lap car park by continuing ahead, passing the Enchanted Place again on your left.

For the longer walk, turn left onto a path, pass through Quarry car park to the road. Cross with care onto a path opposite and in 30m turn left onto the ride.

The woodland on the far side of the valley appears as Five Hundred Acre Wood on the Ordnance Survey map but Pooh knew better: to him it was the Hundred Acre Wood where Owl lived. Pooh used the same route down into the valley that was, and is, used while

searching for the North Pole.

In later life Christopher Robin was to write: “It is a real forest with giant beech trees, all dark and mysterious. You would need to be a brave explorer to venture into the Five Hundred Acre at night, and I never did”.

Gently descend and bear right through light woodland before descending steeply on more open heath to reach the valley bottom, a bridge and the site of the North Pole.

It was Christopher Robin who had the idea of an expedition to discover the North Pole. Nobody was quite sure what it was, including Christopher Robin who told Pooh that it was just a thing you discover.

In Pooh’s hands (or paws) it became an ‘expotition’ and he spread the word. Led by Christopher Robin a long line started out. Pooh discovered the North Pole and they stuck the pole in the ground with a notice which read:

NorTH PoLEDICSovERED ByPooHPooH FouND IT

Cross the bridge and ascend the wide ride. Towards the top pass by pine woodland on the left. Turn right at the t-junction of rides. Follow the ride as it skirts around the rim of the valley.

Eeyore’s Gloomy Place (“rather boggy and sad”) is somewhere in the valley below on the right - even the grown-up Christopher Robin was not sure where it was. The Gloomy Place was where Eeyore lost his house.

Continue to the road and junction opposite Gills Lap car park. Cross with care.

If you enjoyed this ‘expotition’, there are many other places to explore on the Forest!

��Short Pooh Walk – 0.6 mile/1 kmLong Pooh Walk – 2 miles/3.25 km

Ashdown Forest is the real place where Christopher Robin, a boy,Winnie-the-Pooh, arguably the most famous bear in the world, andtheir friends grew up together. Their adventures have been translatedinto many languages. The Pooh walks explore some of the placesof their best-known exploits.

From Gills Lap car park walk north, away from the roadjunction, on the wide ride. Pass a bench and after about 250myou reach a clump of tall pine trees (Gills Lap) on your right -The Enchanted Place. The concrete, surveyor’s triangulationpoint is 669 feet/204m above sea level.

Gills Lap, Galleons Lap in the Pooh stories, is the Enchanted Placeon the very top of the Forest. Christopher Robin knew it was enchantedbecause nobody had been able to count if there were sixty-three orsixty-four trees. It was also the only place on the Forest where theycould sit down without worrying about prickly vegetation. From here

their ‘expotition’ to discover the North Pole set off, but we make adiversion before following the footsteps of the explorers.

To continue, turn left and descend on a narrower path to reachthe Heffalump Trap, a small hollow in which a Lone Pine grows.

Some say that the hollow was Pooh’s Cunning Trapto capture that rare beast, the Heffalump. Some willsay that it was somewhere else. Readers of the Poohstories may remember that the Heffalump Trapwas close to the Six Pine Trees, not a solitary pine.Could it be that this Lone Pine is all that remainsof the Six? In the stories Piglet digs the pit whilstPooh went to get honey to bait the trap. Could Piglet,a Very Small Animal, dig a pit big enough to fit aHeffalump? A carefully disguised Heffalump trapin the garden of his real home brought disgraceupon Christopher Robin when Mrs Tasker, thegardener’s wife, caught her foot in it.

As in all the best stories it ended happily except for Piglet who hadto take a bath, and he had never “really been fond of taking those”.

To complete the shorter walk return to Gills Lap car park bycontinuing ahead, passing the Enchanted Place again on yourleft.

For the longer walk, turn left onto a path, pass through Quarrycar park to the road. Cross with care onto a path opposite andin 30m turn left onto the ride .

The woodland on the far side of the valley appears as Five HundredAcre Wood on the Ordnance Survey map but Pooh knew better: tohim it was the Hundred Acre Wood. It is mentioned in the story inwhich Eeyore loses a tail and Pooh finds one, when Pooh went to visitOwl, whose house was in the wood (100 Aker Wood on the plandrawn by Christopher Robin and Mr Shepard), for advice on the soresubject of Eeyore’s lost tail. Pooh used the same route down intothe valley that was, and is, used while searching for the North Pole. In later life Christopher Robin was to write: “It is a real forest withgiant beech trees, all dark and mysterious.

MERIDIAN FM PRESENTER: JACk POwLEy“I’ve been a member of Meridian FM for about a year now and it has flown by because I absolutely love what I do, being involved with community radio. My show’s on Saturday afternoons, 12-3pm; It’s evolved over the past year into the current format which starts with the film hour where I give an unbiased overview with exclusive interviews, clips and trailers followed by a firsthand review of new films. Then from 2-3pm is the sports hour where I mention lots of local sports news and bring you reports and interviews from the East Grinstead Cycling and Sports clubs. On Wednesday nights is my new show, featuring music from the 60s and 70s which I co-host with new Meridian FM member Kate Lascaux.” Jack is currently a student studying Media and Performing Arts

Suffering from aches & pains?

Dr. Teresa White


We asked her some questions:

Did you ever imagine that one day you would win such a prestigious competition?

No, definitely not

what was the toughest part?

To stay focused for almost a year

when did it dawn on you that you wanted to be a musician?

It was a gradual process, and recently (also in connection with the BBC Young Musician Competition) I have become a lot more serious about choosing music as a career.

would you say you were mostly self-driven when you started or did you have to have a lot of encouragement?

I had a lot of encouragement

from many different influences, and have now become more self-driven.

How can you fit everything in around your schooling?

My schools have been very helpful, flexible and understanding when it came to music.

where do you draw your inspiration from to play as you do?

from my teacher Leonid Gorokhov and from cellists Zara Nelsova, Daniil Shafran and Alexander Rudin as well as violinist Jascha Heifetz

Since then how has life changed?

It’s still changing… quite a few offers to play recitals

Laura van der Heijden, resident of Forest Row, last month won the highly coveted BBC’s Young Musician Award out of �53 applicants!

Her performance of the rarely-played Walton Cello Concerto mesmerised the judges.

Laura, a student of Sackville School, East Grinstead, started playing recorder when she was four, followed by the piano, and when she was six began learning the cello. Since late 2008 she has been taught the cello by Leonid Gorokhov.

Another thought that has emerged is that her victory will be a timely boost to the campaign to keep music alive in state schools.

Winner of the BBC’s Young Musician of the Year

Fundraising for the Children of today

& tomorrowImberhorne Sports Hall Update

We sincerely hope all Imberhorne students enjoyed ‘Imberthon’ and that it was successful. For any sponsors out there, the school is very grateful for your support.

As this publication goes to print £120,000 has been raised so far; a further £80,000 must be raised over the next 12 months to ensure Imberhorne meets the commitment made at the start of the sports hall campaign in 2010.

In July the whole PE department will be running a relay in pairs from Hastings Pier to Bognor Pier and they are looking for a local company to sponsor the event. It’s a great way to associate a business with a healthy, challenging and adventurous cause.

The Walk of Fame: A brick path is being created that will lead up to the sports hall entrance. The school is offering past & present students and parents (and any philanthropically-minded people in the EG area) the opportunity to donate to your very own paving brick, professionally engraved, which will serve as a permanent legacy of your contribution. The bricks are priced at just £30 in the hope that everyone will participate.

All support is very appreciated and it will certainly benefit the children of our town both now and in the future.

What to do:1. Preheat the oven to 190°, fan 170°C, gas mark 5.

2. Cook the macaroni in a large saucepan of boiling water for 8-10 minutes, or according to the instructions on the packet, until tender.

3. Meanwhile, melt the low-fat spread in a large saucepan and cook the onion for 3-� minutes until softened, but not brown. Remove from the heat and stir in the flour. Return to the heat and cook gently for about 1 minute, stirring, until the mixture has a texture like sand.

�. Remove from the heat and add the milk a little at a time, stirring well to mix together. Then return to the heat, stirring all the time, until the sauce is thick and smooth. At this point, remove from the heat and add about two-thirds of the cheese and the mustard. Season with pepper.

5. Drain the cooked pasta well and return it to the saucepan. Stir in the hot cheese sauce. Tip the mixture into a baking dish which can hold about 1.2 litres, or use individual serving dishes. Top with the sliced tomatoes and sprinkle the left-over cheese on top. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until piping hot, then serve.

Tips:1. Use tubes of pasta instead of macaroni. Take care not to overcook it - it needs to keep a little ‘bite’.

2. Instead of tomatoes you could use a layer of sliced leeks, courgettes and peppers, lightly cooked in boiling water to soften them.

Located in East Grinstead, near the heart of the town, our nursery is a little oasis of learning.

Children enjoy attending our nursery and participating in our very practical,

educational and traditional Montessori activities. The Times wrote, “A Montessori education sets children up better for adult life and gives them a better quality of life.” And according to The Daily Mail, “Children from Montessori schools outperformed those given a traditional education across a range of abilities.”

Several parents have commented on how our nursery had been a very positive “first step” in their child’s education. Another said, after her son’s first term, “Overall, he is happy, settled and confident at nursery”.

We have a high percentage of families, who, after seeing the benefits of our nursery with their first child, have brought younger siblings once they have come of nursery age.

Testimonials:

“Parents only want to do what is right for their children. We can say we made a good choice when we picked your nursery”

“I could not recommend this nursery enough! For my daughter is was like an extension of her own house, where she found a bigger family. I would recommend the Children’s House to any of my friends, as a place of outstanding childcare and love!”

we were rated “Good” in all 17 Ofsted categories.

we invite you to come tour our nursery and come to our Parents and Baby Group which is for anyone, free of charge every Tuesday afternoon 1.30 to 3.30pm.

Annuals, Bulbs & HerbaceousRemove fading and dead flowers on your annuals and herbaceous perennial plants. Removing the finished flowers will promote a longer flowering season. Perennial and biennial plants can be started from seed sown directly into the garden. Continue to plant container grown perennials. Always take time to properly prepare the soil by mixing generous quantities of soil improver compost or well composted manure with your existing soil. Spring flowering perennials can be divided and transplanted. Be sure to do this during the coolest part of the day and water the plants thoroughly after transplanting.

GreenhouseOn hot summer days ventilate as much as possible and damp down twice a day greenhouse floors and benches to prevent the air from becoming dry. Shade plants from the midday sun and water as often as necessary.

ShrubsSummer flowering shrubs should be pruned for shape after they have finished flowering. Remove any dead or diseased branches.

LawnsGrasses go dormant in times of drought, but will quickly return to life with the autumn rains so a brown lawn is not necessarily a dead lawn !! If a lush green lawn is important to you, and you don’t mind mowing, water it regularly, and deeply. If a water shortage is expected, or you hate tending to grass, you may choose to just let your lawn go dormant, and water it as seldom as once a month. Raise the cutting height of the mower. Taller grass cools the roots and helps to keep the moisture in the soil longer.

Vegetables and FruitNow is the time to start your autumn and winter vegetables. Sow seeds of onions, carrots, beets, lettuce, spinach, radishes, and winter cauliflower directly into the garden early in the month. Do not spray any fruit with insecticide if still flowering as this may harm pollinating insects leading to a poor fruit yield. Keep all fruit well watered during dry periods. New raspberry shoots can be tied in this month.

MiscellaneousKeep the weeding going before they have a chance to flower and go to seed again.. Keep an eye out for insect, slug and snail or disease damage throughout the garden, and take the necessary steps to control the problem.

Tuesday the 17th of July is the day to put in your diary, because that’s when the Olympic Torch will coming through East Grinstead on its way around the UK. After having travelled here from Copthorne, the convoy arrives in Felbridge on the A26� at Lyndhurst Farm Close. At around 10.00 the first runners will start to carry the torch on foot from here, before turning on to the A22 and following it into town as it becomes the London Road. At this stage there will not be any road closures as such, but a rolling roadblock will be in action to keep traffic away from

the convoy and the torch bearers.

About 10.15 the torch reaches the shopping area of the town, and here the roads will

be closed to traffic and will remain closed until 12.00 to allow the crowds to enjoy the spectacle and

entertainment that will be provided. The Torch Relay carries on up London

Road and turns into East Grinstead’s historic High Street, where the crowds

are expected to be the greatest. We are

promised a very special attraction here as a focus for the day and the route will be lined with bunting and banners, some made by local schools as on Olympic tribute. The torch then turns into College Lane past Sackville College and down Blackwell Hollow onto the Holtye Road and past the world-famous Queen Victoria Hospital. Here the Torch will cross the Greenwich Meridian Line, one of the few occasions that this will happen in the UK. The last runner will halt at Great Field Place and then the convoy proceeds by vehicle to Tunbridge Wells.

It will surely be a great spectacle, and there are many places along the route that you can see the Relay pass in comfort and in safety. Please remember that although the route will be marshalled, it is up to you to keep yourselves and your family safe. Leave space around you and normal road safety rules apply.

Ten days later the torch will arrive at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Games in the Olympic Park in London, having travelled all over the UK. Let’s make sure that East Grinstead gives it one of the best and most memorable of welcomes.

Wrong Trousers Day is an annual national fundraising event. Thousands of people from all walks of life pay a pound to swap their normal attire and step out in weird and wacky clothes - or just something plain ‘wrong.’ This year’s event takes place on Friday 29th June and there are around 5 organisations/companies taking part in this area.

Wallace & Gromit’s Children’s Foundation is a national charity which raises funds to improve the quality of life for children in hospitals and hospices throughout the UK.

Created in 2003, it receives the backing of the treble Academy Award-winning characters Wallace & Gromit, created by Nick Park - also a trustee of the Children’s Foundation.

This year Wallace & Gromit are urging the nation to join in the Olympic fun and support their favorite team and by donning their weirdest, wackiest legwear in their national colours and donate £1 for the right to look wrong.

Can your organisation join in the fun for a good cause? For a registration pack visit the website: www.wallaceandgromitfoundation.org

FROM ARSENAL FC TO EAST GRINSTEAD HC

Tell us a bit about your background and how you came to take up Hockey?I grew up in Islington, home of Arsenal FC, so it should be no surprise that I spent most of my childhood with a football no further than 1 metre away from me, and the thought of playing for Arsenal cemented in my dreams. It just so happened though that one afternoon, just before I turned 11, Arsenal came into my primary school to take over our PE class. However, instead of bringing footballs with them, they were carrying hockey sticks and balls; I instantly loved the game.

I then met the man who was to be my mentor for the next 15 years, Freddie Hudson, Head of Sports Development at Arsenal FC. He used to play Southgate Hockey Club 1st XI at the time they were English and European Champions. He has an amazing amount of skill, but an even greater capacity to bring the best of the young people.

From there, Freddie coached me up to the point of making my English Premier League debut for Old Loughtonians 1st XI aged only 15.

Why did you choose East Grinstead Hockey Club, what makes it special?After playing a season in Holland for Oranje Zwart everyone expected me to go to Reading or Loughborough, but I had been speaking a lot with Ashley Jackson about EG.

I asked to speak with some people from the club and I instantly bought in to their dream for the future. The club had only just returned to the Premier League, finished mid table, and wanted to win the league within 5 years. The atmosphere seemed very special, and they were all amazingly welcoming, so that Summer I joined East Grinstead.

Who or where do you draw inspiration from?There are a few places I draw inspiration from. Firstly, as a Muslim, my main inspiration comes from God. Before every game or training session I say a little prayer while on the pitch asking Him to protect me from harm, to make me the best I can be, use me to make the game of my team mates as easy as possible, and also to keep me adhering to the best of etiquettes and manners. I strongly believe that out talent is God-given so I do my best to develop it as best I can.

Other inspiration come from my team-mates. We have people like Ashley and Barry in the team that are ridiculously skilful and able players, but I am also inspired by others. Andy Piper who came to us from local club Sevenoaks; he took a big gamble coming here but has become a regular in the first team, starting games at the end of the season. Wes Jackson who is very skilful, and works unbelievably hard for the team. Adam Harper who I have known since I was 12; he is the only defender I have ever worried about facing (not that I ever told him that!). Rick Gay who would literally put his body on the line for the team. We have so many different components to this squad, each bringing something slightly unique, and that inspires me to bring my own flavour!

Any message to young potential professional sports players in this area?To all the young sports people out there, my advice to you is that everyone has the ability to do amazing things. It all comes down to whether you want it enough, and whether you are prepared to do everything it takes to achieve it. The ‘want’ comes from your love for the sport, and if that is there, go and speak to someone from your local sports club who can tell you what you need to do to be the best you can be.

This is the next in a series of articles about our Premier League leading Hockey Club’s Players. This month we profile Darren Cheesman who was voted ‘Premier League Player of the Year’ during his time at EG. ©

Kitchens Bespoke, based in East Grinstead, is the brainchild of Rachael Workman a designer for over 17 years. Three years ago she decided to set up a ‘one stop shop’ to help clients create their perfect kitchen and she has not looked back.

Rachael has found that being a female designer gives her an edge. “I design from a practical view point. Most people who use kitchens are women and I can relate to the need to balance aesthetics with function”.

She works to her client’s budget and is always testing new products and materials to see what works, saving time and money for her customers. Kitchens Bespoke can also attend to lighting, decoration, flooring and building works if necessary. The word ‘bespoke’ refers to the design process itself and Rachael says that her

kitchens are more affordable than you may think. An expensive look doesn’t have to cost a fortune.

Rachael can design a kitchen that fits you. With your needs and her expertise the kitchen you have only imagined can become reality.

Is RoboCop Real?A prison in Pohang, South Korea is testing the world’s first robot prison guard.

Created in Asia, if the robot proves to be effective it might soon replace human guards to keep prisons safe!

The $879,000 robot will detect every detail of action happening inside cells through a window by using the 3D-depth camera. When there is unusual behavior, it’s programmed to analyse and reports any problem to the control system, so officers can arrives at the scene in time.

Guards are able to control the robot with an iPad, and communicate with prisoners by using the robot’s two-way cameras and microphones.

Did you think it would happen in your lifetime? The mind boggles…

“I have had a fantastic

response to my

advertising. Customers

have been coming

in droves, probably

the most successful

promotion ever.”

Michael Dongray,

Imberhorne Lane Nursery

“Advertising in the East

Grinstead Living has

proved very effective and

has generated a significant

amount of new business

- I would highly recommend

their services”

Zac, East Grinstead

Lawns Ltd.

“When I started my plastering business at

the beginning of 2010 I

decided to advertise in ‘East

Grinstead living’ as the cost

was reasonable and it seemed

like a good publication. Little

did I know just how much of

a good idea that was!! Over

the following 6 months I

would say that around 70%

of my leads came from that

one 1/4 page advert and

when I heard that there

was going to be another

publication (Ashdown Forest

Living) by the same people

going out to another area, it

Local History NotesDame Margery Corbett Ashby

LET US AWAKE by Dorothy Hatswell

On the 99th anniversary of the militant suffragette, Emily Davidson, being fatally injured by the king’s horse at the Epsom Derby, it seems fitting that tribute is paid to our local suffragist, Dame Margery Corbett Ashby.

Margery Irene Corbett was born on May 15th 1882 in Danehill. Her parents, Charles and Marie Corbett, were both strong Liberals and supporters of women’s rights. They often travelled to East Grinstead where they made speeches on the subject on the subject. East Grinstead was then a staunchly Conservative town and their audiences were frequently hostile. Margery was to say later in her life that “my parents, as Liberals, were at that period, as hated and distrusted by the gentry as Communists are today.”

Coming from this background it is unsuprising that Margery and her younger sister, Cicely, also became involved. Together with friends they formed the Young Suffragists. Suffragists were a less aggressive, but equally determined to enfranchise women, as the more militant Suffragettes, who made more headlines. Educated at home, Margery was accepted for Newnham College, Cambridge, where she joined the

National Union of Women Suffrage Societies. After leaving university she took a place at a teacher training College but never taught, as her time was increasingly taken up by the suffrage movement. She became secretary of many groups and societies with this aim.

She married Brian Ashby in 1910. He was a barrister and was a great supporter of her work. The next year she and Cicely formed the East Grinstead branch of the Suffrage Society. A survey in the same year showed that less than 20% of the women in the town supported votes for women! At a public meeting in the Queens Hall in July 1922, the Countess de la Warr was elected President of the society and Margery and her sister, now Cicely Corbett Fisher, were on the committee. The common desire of these siblings to retain their own identity through the continued use of their maiden names, (albeit, in conjunction with their husband’s surnames) is unusual at this period.

At the General Election of 1906, Charles Corbett won an unexpected victory over the Conservative candidate. It was what we now would think of as a one-issue campaign - though Corbett would no

doubt have thought his Liberal views were now being espoused by the voters of East Grinstead, all male, of course. The truth was that there was universal disquiet with the Education Act of 1902 which made the teaching of the Anglican religion mandatory in all schools, not just those run by the Church of England. This was very unpopular in East Grinstead, which had a strong non-conformist tradition. Corbett promised it would be repealed if the Liberals formed the government. It is the only occasion when East Grinstead has not returned a Conservative Member to Westminster. Once there, Charles Corbett spoke strongly for women’s rights. In 1913 he, together with the Reverend G. Riddell and the Reverend R.Strong, formed the East Grinstead branch of the Men’s League for Women’s Rights. This was disbanded at the start of the war.

In 191� Margery’s only child, a son, Michael George Ashby, was born. Co-inciding with the outbreak of World War I, Margery’s energies were temporarily concentrated on her child and the war effort. She worked in hospitals as a volunteer, for the four years of it’s duration. The end of the war saw the Qualification of Women Act, which gave women over thirty the right to vote. This was a step in the right direction and led to the election in 1919, of the first woman to the Houses of Parliament, Lady Astor. 1928 saw the suffrage extended to all women over twenty-one.

Full political equality with men was however, the next goal. Margery, herself, stood at every election from then until 1935 and again at by-elections in 1937 and 193�. She was unsuccessful in all of them but her real aim was

to encourage other women to come forward as candidates rather than to become an MP herself.

Her interests had always been wider than just women’s emancipation. A friend wrote of her saying, “ ...she also fought for civil liberties, free trade, international goodwill and democracy.” She went as a delegate to The Versailles Peace Conference of the International Alliance of Women. She was elected President of the International Women’s Suffrage Alliance in 1923 and stayed in that position until she retired in 19�6. In 1932 she travelled to Geneva as the British delegate for Disarmament. She was a signatory on a letter asserting that war could be averted if the League of Nations took more positive action. War was inevitable at this point, however, and she quietly worked throughout the duration in many voluntary roles. After the war she became politically active again and was awarded the DBE by the Queen for her services to women in 1967. Dame Margery went on her last demonstration, in London in 1980, at the age of 98. She died the following year, just a month after her 99th birthday.

During her long and active life she used her gift of being a rousing and passionate speaker to draw others to her many causes. Her strong religious belief and her family heritage made her one of the best-known women of her generation in this area. From sharing a platform with the Pankhursts at the turn of the twentieth century she went on to work for many different causes. As she said in one of her inspirational speeches:

“Let us awake and determine women shall enter the machine to direct it for the defence of democracy.”
